This post was inspired by two things I saw recently:

Jonny Price of WeFunder, sharing their newly designed raise page, featuring some giants of tech like Substack, Mercury and Levels.

Xalavier Nelson Jr. of Strange Scaffold, commenting on the seemingly extreme success of Larian Studios, with the upcoming release of Baldur’s Gate, and imporing consumers that it not “raise the standard”.

The connection between these two items is not obvious, but it is interesting.

Nothing is gonna change. Consumers gonna consume

People will preorder the next cash grab and whoever cares about quality games will just have to wait. Although i have to admit that it will be pretty much impossible to match the love and care larian poures into their games.
