Seasoned RPG devs from Obsidian and Bioware blame the temporary death of the isometric CRPG on 'vibes-based forecasting' from retailers - eviltoast
"I can't stress enough how often I'd hear a retail rep declare a genre/style/look was dead with zero supporting data."

    Ok, thanks. I’ve played maybe an hour of DE so far and maybe it was the controls moreso than the perspective that felt awkward. I might just need to tinker or get acclimated. Since it’s all story I want to play it on my TV or Steam Deck, so gamepad input rather than M+KB.

      That’s fair, yeah. I played it with M+KB but have heard many others complain about awkward controls on a gamepad, and can imagine it isn’t ideal.
