Prolific tweeter and take-haver Michael Douse, Larian's publishing director, has delved into the Crimson Desert discourse. The man knows his RPGs (I know, I know, Pearl Abyss says it isn't an RPG), so he offers an interesting and informed perspective. I just think he's dead wrong this time.
"Crimson Desert is fun to play, but it is such a cynical amalgamation of borrowed mechanics," he says in the original tweet. "It is Now That's What I Call Gaming plucked off a gas station shelf, for better & worse. Expect a lot more of this in premium & F2P. There is less risk in it."
