If EA or Activision or whomever went to one of their studios and said “copy BG3” there is a good chance we will end up with more Anthem, Suicide Squad, Avengers, Godfall situations. Larian have worked their way up to this point learning lots of lessons on the way, and there is a lot going on behind the scenes we aren’t privy to. I think it takes a lot of experience in order to make a game like BG3. Several major studios have attempted to follow the looter shooter train only to be met with disdain from players for making inferior copies of better games.
