This is a really bad look, but I don't for a second believe anyone is going to write a story about it. We're talking about the same companies who praised Starfield for being Bethesda's least buggy launch, saying its virtually bug free and claiming there were no gamebreaking bugs. And yet almost all my family and friends ran into the same issues and gamebreaking bugs bc we tried to play it like a traditional Bethesda game rather than cycling into new game plus every 20-30hrs. If they did drop an article now about bugs in BG3 after failing to address the glaring bugs in other games it would look like they were actively trying to sabotage Larian's award chances. Like they are actively punching down on Larian to give the bigger, more financially secure studios a better chance to win awards that they really don't deserve even with what's going on atm.
I'd suggest publicly asking the studios faces about it on Twitter. Just because your grandparents go to the news every time the neighbors dog barks doesn't mean it's an effective way to get anything done. Especially in an era where the individual is just as capable of putting them on blast publicly as the media is. And you're more likely to get an actual answer when you're talking to someone who actually knows whats going on day to day rather than some support rep from India who can't answer any questions that aren't in the script they received.
Hmm, that is a rather cynical perspective... Good thing The Gamer has already reported on it and I hope other media outlets are soon to follow
Members of the Larian community team, the ones who do the announcing when a patch is released and the ones who are supposed to be in charge of "communicating", are on Twitter. Maybe someone here could give them a heads up. I don't have a Twitter account unfortunately.
