Yeah tell me about it ...
I live in small country in central europe, wich have so stupid language its no simmilar to any "world wide" one.
We usualy get only amateur subtitles, and usualy around 2-5 years after release.
My language (Portuguese) is the 5th or 6th most spoken in the world, but most speakers are from here (Brazil), and our economy is very bad, so only big companies like Capcom care to dub into Portuguese. , have already released dubbed games for Portuguese, such as resident evil 7 and 8.
But we are not able to give a lot of money to the gaming market like developed countries, so smaller companies like Larian don't feel motivated to invest here, which makes me very sad.
Baldur's Gate 3 costs less than 40 dollars here (we pay less than 2/3 of the normal amount), but our average salary is 436 dollars (in another post I said it was less, but I got confused). Also, RPG is not a very prominent genre here, although we have a lot of fans, just that the general population likes FPS games more. To get you an idea, none of my friends have a Playstation 5 or Xbox Series, and only me and another friend have a PC gamer. Playing here is something for the elite, it's luxury and it's expensive.
However, there is Portugal in Europe, but not many people, so they do not represent a good part of the market, so Brazil becomes more profitable even with all the problems, the dubs in Portuguese have our accent even.
Curiosity: Brazil is the country with the 3rd largest number of players, but it is the 13th that generates the most money for this market.
By the way, I got to know your country through an anime called "Monster", I highly recommend it and it was very interesting to know the city of Prague.
Well, they may concider this ...
But so far i believe it would all depend on how people will rate BG-3 on release date ... and mostly if Wizards of the Coast will smell enough profit in such approach.
From the people who tested this game here, ALL loved it, very much.
So I believe it will be a success, the problem is the marketing reach. Despite the absolute success in delighting people who know the game, the problem is that the number of people who don't know it is very large.
