Not sure why you're being down voted, it's a reasonable opinion to have if you don't like their games. I feel the same about the originals. I tried them and respect them a lot, but they're just not for me.

BG3 has insane fanboys who don't accept any criticism of it. It makes it difficult to review games any more

I think a fair few people have tied their identity to products so they feel like it's a personal attack to not agree or not like something they like.

The triumph of modern marketing. The company is my friend and the product is my child.

Picturing someone downvoting this makes me giggle. I guess people don’t like getting read that hard lmao

That's a tale as old as time, whether it is heritage, nations, religions or products people tie their identity to.
