It was all fun and games with CD project red until Cyberpunk came along. Let's see how Larian handles explosive growth.

CD:PR made way too many unrealistic promises during development. It was already obvious they'd never be able to fulfill all of them, and the bugginess etc. came on top. I really hope Larian sticks with the EA (=Early Access) model, because it protects against exactly these shenanigans. I wouldn't have bought BG3 on launch day if the EA reviews weren't as stellar.

If you're like me and wondering what was ever good about the Electronic Arts model, here it means Early Access

Good point, that's a bit confusing. I've added the whole word after the first use of the initialism :)
