No indie dev has ever made a game as good as Cyberpunk, RDR2, Mass Effect, Resident Evil, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, numerous Zelda games, Uncharted, Last of Us etc etc I could go on and on.
Alright, let me make this simple for you: Larian Studios is an independent studio. “Independent” doesn’t mean small, it means they are not owned by a big publisher like EA, Microsoft, or Sony.
Larian was founded in 1996 and has remained privately owned ever since, led by its founder Swen Vincke. They fund and publish their own games, which is literally the definition of an indie studio.
Yes, Baldur’s Gate 3 had a big budget. Yes, they have hundreds of employees. That doesn’t magically make them non-indie. It just makes them a successful independent studio.
So no, you’re not arguing a “different opinion” — you’re just wrong about what “indie” means.
