Devs stopped making games like Baldur's Gate 'because retailers told us no one wanted to buy them'

Hope writes: "Classic RPGs make up some of the most formative examples of late '90s to early 2000s PC gaming in my memory, but I also remember when they weirdly disappeared. If you loved games like the original Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or Planescape, and also wondered why we stopped seeing these kinds of titles for a bit there, well it turns out you can blame physical retailers for the decline in Dungeons-and-Dragons-style PC RPGs."

I would have loved to have bought Baldur's Gate 3 if it would have had a physical release (not the censored Japanese release).

Notellin141d ago

Why can't you just buy the physical release? I have an opened one on Xbox and a sealed collector's edition for PS5.

Are you just not capable of searching online?

Buy the euro version? That is available to purchase. The North American version was limited and sells for a good amount on eBay.

This shtick is getting old.

People want to play them. Retailers will sell them. But most dev teams can't make them.

Bear Gate 3 has a lot of nice content, but the game isn't for me.

Another excellent addition to Gamepass out of nowhere!

Redgrave268d ago

They could add a still image of cartoon poop as a game and you'd still say it was an excellent addition and xbox/gamepass owners are eating good.

But yes, this is indeed a good addition. Perhaps Icewind Dale & Planescape Torment will soon follow, unless it's already on there.

jznrpg268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

They came out last gen and have been on sale for very cheap many times.

GhostScholar268d ago

I have a feeling 3 will drop at the games showcase into game pass.

anast268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

These games are ancient. There is no shadow dropping. They released an couple of ancient games on a platform. This is the same with every other ancient game that gets released on every other platform. Title: "Now You can play BG I & II on Xbox."

StarcrossedBits268d ago

Yeah this isn't shadow dropping.

Neonridr268d ago

I am beginning to wonder if either of you know what the term "shadow dropping" means.
