triple A game or indie

[cire87]

Is larian still considered a indie dev ?

[barbie]

Yes its a small studio

[DDkiki]

They are pretty rare phenomenon of a large, but still Independent studio, producing AAA games. So answer is - both.

Given that Larian doesn't have a Publisher but rather finances its games by itself, handles all the marketing, etc, it is still an indie developer in the sense that they are an independent games developer studio, but that has nothing to do with the question of the quality level of the game.

BG3 is a AAA game, and its developer is an indie dev, so both.

yea thats what i thought , thank you

to be fair, compared to R* that is small...R* reportedly had something like 2000ppl working on it...

Independent studios do not get rights to big licences as BG is.

No longer indie.

They graduated from kindergarten years ago, when they became an award-winning developer.

Larian has seven studios worldwide, and 400 employees.

Bethesda has four studios and 420 employees and you wouldn't consider them an indie developer.

Only thing left for Larian to do, is watch this game smash all of their previous sales records.

And be knighted.

Well yeah, but they are pretty big compare to other RPG and Indie devs. Swen even told in interview that they overextended for BG3 and they need to fix studio's inner stuff after it. But its a normal thing with such releases i think.

ganes workshop is probably getting alot sales on minis and stuff because of this game

BS.

Larian *is* independent and they *do* have the IP.
Those are facts, there's no arguing with it.

[Rusted Metal]

Triple AAA game by a Indie Studio.

[RakiaTime]

[Something completely different]

More like 400 people.

We made Larian huge by throwing tens of millions of dollars at them. They had to crowdfund their previous game (Divinity: Original Sin 2) and this was the first one they were finally independent enough to fund themselves. Then on Day 1 of Early Access, 1 million people bought it at $60.

CRPG was a dead genre that had fallen into indie, and only Larian was bringing in new audiences, and including multiplayer, not just catering to nostalgia. There was no one else.
