I think the people are fed up.
The genre is stuck in the 90s and 20 year old technolgical limitations are selled as core mechanics.
Nostalgia is strong, people buy Divinity and Pillars of Eternity, nice games, but gameplay can be a hassle.
Divinity2 and Pillers of Eternity2 have bad sales, to fresh are the memories.
BG3 will never be a new Gold "Standard" for a whole Genre because it looks backwards the whole time.

Hope the game sells good, i like the Studio. Funny the best game for me is Divinity 2 Ego Draconis
DOS2 had great sales. It sold millions of copies.
I am not in agreement that BG3 looks backwards. It is an evolution of the genre - the system its based on - the Divinity Engine - won Universal Acclaim.
BG1 and 2 with its RTWP systems are the deprecated systems. Bg1 was RTWP because that's all they had the budget for. Its a cheap system.
