More like an underrated studio who delivered a generation defining game and are being appropriately praised for that.

Larian has big plans for its future.

thankfully you can ignore the weird stuff that you don't like because the game doesn't force you, so many people whining because options exist

Good for them. They must have earned a ton of money with BG3, I'd now use that tech and design base to build their own new IP in the same genre or similar one.
It would give them more creative freedom and agility than having to follow strict rules and getting approvals from someone else's big IP and also would give them the 100% of the money generated by the game.
They became very popular and prestigious with BG3, so they no longer need the popularity of an IP like Baldur's Gate or Dungeons & Dragons, even if it always helps.

Seems to be the plan, based on the article on this page:
So yeah, the next game after BG3 probably going to be what D:OS1 ---> D:OS2 was.
Mostly refinements and having a smoother development cycle(BG3 took 6 years and that was not initially the plan).
But him and his team will be seemingly waiting for next gen for this supposed "RPG that will dwarf all RPGs".
If I had to guess, my man wants some more CPU power to make all the simulation his heart desires
BG3 is one of the best games I've played, and the fact that it completely overshadowed game of the generation Starfield in 2023 makes it even better in my book.

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke - "Also - we’re not done with updating Bg3. There’s still a bunch of stuff coming like mod support and extra cinematics for some of the endings. Just not new content."
Baldur's Gate 3 has sold over 15 million copies, Larian announced in a Gamespot podcast:

Well deserved, game of the generation so far, easilly.
I must have missed all that concern; from what I gathered, it was well received well everywhere.
You are always going to get a fringe bunch of moaners, you can never please everyone.
did you play the original? Besides graphics etc, how closely does it resemble the old one?
All i remember back then, was people used to go crazy for a game called Icewin Dale.

I wouldn't call a game that sold 15 million after selling 7.5 million with their previous game 'niche'.
The crpg in general is still considered as niche genre
When baldurs gate 3 won goty last year saw lots of disrespectull comments from presumably millenials and gen z and the game still getting dissed alot despite winning goty comments like
" who plays this top down game"
"turn based game are shit"
"Only nerds and boomer play this game"
"Spiderman 2 or Resident Evil 4 Remake shouldve won"
"Spiderman 2 lost to this mobile game
""Slow ass game boring "
"What the hell you wait for turns in this game "
Shows the genre is still isnt widely popular and the younger audience arent exactly familiar with this type of game...well at least until now when baldurs gate 3 put the genre into new heights..

I missed all of this too.
All I see are either people who absolutely adore the game or people who kind of regret not enjoying the genre.
