I think this is true only if the game keeps getting delayed. Personally, even if the release date is late 2022, I won't actually consider the game "delayed" as there's been no official release date announcement yet.
On the Steam page, Larian says they expect to be in Early Access for "at least one year...it'll be ready when it's ready." They don't say it'll be ready in around or exactly a year.
Cyberpunk's problem was the combination of multiple official delays, the long time in production after first announcement (like 5+ years), and finally the release of an laughably buggy product.
-Larian has already avoided the 2nd and 3rd problem by releasing a EA only a year and a half(?) after they first announced it, and after a few updates it is already less buggy than Cyberpunk was on last gen consoles
-As long as the game releases within 6 months of when Larian first states the official release will be, there's much less worry of the same hype that CP2077 got.
-Finally, there will just be less hype because BG3 is basically already out. There's less mystery and potential for build-up as people can actually see what gameplay/story is like.
Again, I understand my error. I should have waited till later in the EA.
“At least one year...it’ll be ready when it’s ready.” is business speak. It kinda dangles the idea that the game will be ready in roughly a year but then they cover their butts with the second clause. But as a consumer it is my job to know this.
Wasn’t BG3 supposed to go live Oct 2020, not just EA? I’m not criticizing them for delays but isn’t the game already delayed?
