I sware that's happened with all big games of late, Elden Ring, TotK, etc. A few Devs decide to be contraian to the praise and then the media decides it a huge backlash.

That’s just modern media, they often write about the internet exploding about something and then it’s just a few tweets from random people.

They are not even criticizing the game.

The opinions are basically either "Smaller studios won't be able to replicate BG3" and "Not all games/RPGs need to be as deep and long as BG3".
