> However, some devs are urging players not to rate all other games in the genre by such a high standard, appealing to Larian Studios’ unique combination of vast experience and resources.

AAA game labels spend billions on producing mediocre quality bullshit sequels just to maximize revenue predictability rather than quality, originality or artistic value. That's their choice.

Not all games in the genre are AAA "billion"-dollar games. In fact, most games in this genre are AA at best. And the majority of honest commentary around this centers around that. That's the worry.

Some people have said "Oh, we don't judge like that" but no, I've seen the commentary around non-AAA games being judged. They do make those comparisons.
