Listen, all those companies suck, but you don’t have to put words in their mouths, everyone seems extremely positive about Baldur’s Gate, and I would say almost all developer aspire to reach the same breadth and depth as Baldur’s Gate 3 with as much polish as they put on it. There’s a long list of reasons why they can’t or don’t (often publishers… or scope creep… but mostly publishers).
Unless there’s a massive thread of shit talking from other developers that I’m missing, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist.

I think this is in response to the IGN story about developers being afraid of the new standard BG3 is setting.
Agreed. What’s especially dumb is that only one of these studios (BioWare) is even in the business of making the same genre of game.
BioWare hasn’t been in that business for quite some time now
The companies haven’t officially said it, but various people working for these companies have whined about it on their personal social media.
