This is one of the few industries that consistently and continuously posts record profits while also firing everyone who put in the work to make the success possible.

Larian is an unusual case. It’s indie but it’s huge. They aren’t funded by or marketing through a bigger publishing company so IMO that’s still indie. But they’re hundreds of people so not really small, and BG3 can by all means be considered a AAA game because the difference in quality and scale is indistinguishable from AAA published games.
