Well, I am happy for Larian that BG3 sells well for them.
However I would love BG3 just as much if it wouldnt sell. I am certain already that this is a game that I will keep playing until the day I die. Just like the first two Baldurs Gate, Vampire: The Masquerae: Bloodlines, and hopefully also Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, though I am unfortunately having problems to install the later on current systems.
I bought Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines when nobody else would, making me part of a 70,000 or some such "elite" who actually got the game before it later became popular. Though I have to admit that back then I was a bit lukewarm on the game due to the many problems of the game. I only really became a fan once Wesp5 and his many contributors made the game much more playable.
I played Vanguard: Saga of Heroes for as long as I could, despite it having only small success. I still would play it, if that would be possible.
Really the only favorite game I have of which I am not sure if I will play it again is No Man's Sky. In many ways the game got worse recently. Its also annoying so much of the game is blocked if you dont play online.
Overall how big or small a success a game is thus doesnt matter much for me, as long as it is the right game for myself.
I would argue everyone should play the games they enjoy, no matter how other people feel about those games.
About Starfield, I do hope that Bethesda, because it is now owned by Microsoft, gets access to better engines, and will make a better Starfield 2 in future. Mostly one with stronger stories, stronger characters, an overall much smaller gameworld, but a gameworld filled with more content and more high quality content, and features like a seamless gameworld and realistic viewing distances which the current game engine couldnt provide.
About feelings, I think feelings are just as important as thoughts. Thoughts are always partial and incomplete, while feelings can give you much easier and faster access to the big picture. Feelings can be wrong, thats true, but so can thoughts. Neither is perfect and using both is therefore important.
