It is anachronistic because the video game world has radically shifted since the golden age of CRPGs.
What golden age exactly? Bunch of RPG classics have been commercial flops and under the radar smaller productions. I don’t think RPGs in general have ever been selling blockbuster. Maybe Larian will be the company to achieve it - maybe they won’t. But so far, for an RPG centric studio they have been doing very well. All they need to do is continue making profit.
