Right, but from the perspective of a gaming company CEO, it being a sequel is everything. You have to remember, these people are incredibly uninformed and shortsighted. Think of the dumbest person you’ve interacted with ever, and that’s about as intelligent as the smartest CEO. They see that Baldur’s Gate 3 sold well, and all they learn from that is that sequels are a profitable endeavor. They couldn’t care less about any of the context that makes it a good game.

Calling BG3 a sequel is very disingenuous, it shares nothing in common with BG1 and BG2 besides the name.
Being based on d&d and having two previous big hits in a row (Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2) obviously mattered though.
