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.
That is not exactly what i was talking about ...
Concider that Swen himself admited that if gods of dices will smile on they, they MAYBE will release this game next year (probably by the end of it) ... so i would dare to say that is quite okey to presume 2023 release ...
I would never say that Larian have limited funds (at least not right now) but there are some fiskal expectations, and even if people love the game more and more, investors can easily get the idea that to make another content may not be as profitable as they expect ... if development will keep prolonging, and therefore to make this game will become more and more expencive.
I hope im clear right now ... i just say that by allowing pre-purchase and Early Acess, i believe that most pieces of this game was allready sold, and there will not be another boom with full release ... from financial aspect.
