I have the feeling that some people really should play BG again because I have the feeling that people have forgotten how not very serious the game was.
90s was legendary. When Fist Person Games with their guns came, it changed the tone of game industry. MMORPG rush did not help either with their raid/gear attitude etc. Now we even have ESport, kids play game like their grandpa died.
Im hoping that Bethesda takes a stand against it, but we will see. Larian could join.
Takes a stand against what, exactly? Is there a Divinity eSport league? I wasn't aware of that. I also hadn't seen any information on a Fallout or Elder Scrolls league, so do you have some links to those? It would seem, from what I have direct knowledge of, that Bethesda and Larian are both already "taking a stand against them", right? I mean, they don't have their major SP franchises featured in an eSports league, so that must be because they disallowed it, or, maybe, and I find this more likely, it's not as pervasive as you would like us to believe. The problem with posting about games on a gaming forum is that you're talking to gamers, and we have our hands on the pulse of a lot of different games. Some of us probably play those eSport games you're so dead set against, although I don't play them.
I'm reminded of a discussion on an MMO forum where a poster sincerely believed that Blizzard should go after Ancient Greece because some of the mobs in game were taken from that mythology, and Blizzard must surely own it all...
