"The industry has heard the demands of the people! We are entering a new cooperative play renaissance! At least that’s how it seems. All we can hope is that when developers try to woo us with sonnets involving multiplayer scenarios and full co-op campaigns, they look to the best of what the past has to offer. So we’ve decided to help them out."
The Elder Scrolls: Baldur's Gate 3.
Kinda cool I guess. Seems they just allowed the camera to zoom in right on top of the characters head and then able to control movement like a fps.

"They can define so many things and they know your games"
The companies that fire creative talent that demand high compensation are not looking to make good games. They just need someone to disguise a monetization scheme. The goals are different. They would be idiots if they were looking to make a solid game and fired solid talent, but they are not, so they are not idiots when it comes to their goals. However, they are idiots if they think it's sustainable.
"They just need someone to disguise a monetization scheme."

This is along the same lines of them cancelling or abandoning tried-and-true IPs just to create cash grabs games. It really makes a difference when the top people love games and love what they do. It shows in the final product.
Hopefully, you don't let BG3's success get to your head and become CDPR 2.0.
Good. Corporate can go to mobile that way we can get our hobby back on the right track.
That's why some guys make "game of the year" games, and other make, well, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.
