    Thesis seems to be that small developers are unfairly compared to successful AAA games, but that dynamic has existed forever.

    Maybe it’s a good thing that Baldur’s Gate prevents the creation of a dozen bad copies. Indie devs should be looking to innovate and if you’re being compared to BG3 maybe it’s not actually innovative.
