Privately-owned companies with no ties to venture capitalists are just plain better than corpos that worry too much about "line go up".
Facts.
But what does it mean for the studio if line goes down? They still need to worry about if their team will be able to be paid.
BG3 took 6 years to develop and because of all of that time spent on enhancing the quality, it was the most-hyped game ever in 2023, winning all of the awards and making a shitton of money. A corporation that is only focused on quarterly profits would never go for long-term planning like that.
