Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works

He first cites Larian's own decision to launch Baldur's Gate 3 that same way in 2020. "You know that Baldur's Gate 3 was in Early Access for 3 years, right?" Mahler notes this in his thread, too – as well as why Larian is probably using Early Access on Steam once again. "There's a reason why Larian already announced that they'll use Early Access again for their next game," he writes. If they've shipped multiple high-quality titles before and are doing an Early Access, it's probably for this exact reason."
