Turn-based RPGs are seeing something of a renaissance in recent times, with Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 equally proving that fans are still willing to show up for the genre. But according to Larian publishing director Michael 'Cromwelp' Douse, it's still difficult to convince decision-makers that turn-based games can sell.
"Intensely difficult to convince many people within the shipping pipeline that your turn-based RPG will sell," Douse says on Twitter in response to Expedition 33's success. "I know this from experience. And once it's launched, all the people inside who think they don't sell look at the Metacritic and go 'ah, I always knew it would do well!'"
