I wonder how tolerant all these Larian apologists would be if the company involved was Microsoft.
Funny, I remember everyone blaming Microsoft for the Xbox cloud save issues, despite there being a similar issue on the PC release and it's something that should've been picked up during Larian's QA...
These boards have been fielding frustrations aimed at Larian daily for some time and how they communicate here (or don't, or didn't during EA specifically) but then the people reading these posts now and engaging here are mostly just the players, not really the developers, so I dont know. It's a very different sort of community engagement or support if one wants to call it that, and the approach to taking feedback or general criticisms is of a different kind altogether, because its so indirect, rather than direct. It all seems to crack off by proxy. When it comes to the gripes they just take it on the chin mostly I guess, and never come clapping back except like once in a blue moon, say when a big patch drops. Then it's radio silence, unless one wants to hunt around elsewhere.
I imagine these frustrations are mostly built on the expectations of BG3 being an EA game, which is that there is constant developer feedback with devblogs or roadmaps (Like how other EA devs operate).
Even though the game is post-EA, there is still a ton of issues with the game and the question of DLC/Mod Tools/Definitive Edition still hangs in the air.
I also imagine they have a Slack or a Trello board they can pull from to show what their general plans for the future are.
And now that BG3 won the Community support award, people also expect that BG3 is at the same standard as past winners, if not better.
Instead, it just seems that Larian is content with being like any other AAA dev.
