He is right though.

Gaming is Fallout-esque, which is post apocalypse and sciencefiction.

Hell, gaming is Warcraftesque, which is not TSR.

Or gaming is virtual world simulation theme (the way jap do it) also not TSR.

Compare to 1990-2007, gaming definitely outgrew TSR.

Proof? Pathfinder Kingmaker sell like ass.

When will people stop crying about how Beamdog "ruined" the IE games via their Enhanced Editions? Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment were great right upon release; the latter having an additional editing pass by Avellone himself. Both Baldur's Gate EEs are considered the authoritative versions of the games by the playerbase currently, with everyone and their modders having switched onto them. Were they buggy at release? Sure. But that's the cardinal sin of 95% of all RPGs on release, no matter whether vanilla or remake. What matters is the end result. Don't like the new party members? Don't accept them into the party, just like any other companion already present in the game.

Didn't they fuck with some of the dialogue? I vaguely remember some hag from their team talking about changing Jaheira in particular because she's a naggy bitch. No issue with Khalid being a wimpering pussy, of course.

Let us all peacefully settle our claims and wait for the Diablo remake - the game that revolutionized the RPG genre such as we know it. Now with the wholly new graphics and remastered original sounds! Final price 59,99, preorder now only for 41,99 (upcoming DLC not included). Controller friendly, now with the first time possibility of shared Epic / Blizzard exclusiveness. First 10000 to preorder get the original Tristram track played by the famous Chinese National Orchestra for free (Blizzard player TM required to run).
