Saw the game just peaked at 120K concurrent players on Steam. Word of mouth is spreading like wildfire. Great to see success for the game! Like BG3, this game was something the gaming industry needed.
I gave in to the FOMO, just bought and currently installing it. Hopefully by next week, I'll either be through it or close to that (its late here, and tomorrow its back to work again). I'll give my thoughts on the game then.
i have gamepass but i still paid for this one
This is incredible satisfying to see. I can't help but root for any game devs out there that put so much passion into a project. This is like BG3 all over again. Small studio of passionate people, pulling off what AAA seemingly can't or wont.
Larian is a 400+ person studio though
Didn't they hire like 100 people towards the end, to focus on 2 projects next go around?
Sure 300 ppl, is alot more than 30 ppl.... but its the same principle. Its not 1500-2500 ppl that might work for say a Assasin creed game.
Baldur's Gate 3 has 2,333 listed in the credits, 450+ of those were from Larian Studios itself. Larian also has 7 studios across the world in Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Spain and Poland, the majority of those being high income countries. Plus Tencent owns 30% of them.
Larian no doubt pulled off something amazing but Larian is also an AAA studio, Baldur's Gate 3 was very much an AAA game (I believe they've now gone back to multiple smaller teams). Larian is "indie" because they're independent but they're still a big company, I'd say they're more like Remedy, an AAA independent developer, but one of the bigger ones.
Congrats
Props to them for giving actual sale numbers unlike Ubisoft
awesome, even though i don't like gaming but the graphics and colors
