While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.

Nobody expects Indie developers to deliver a game like BG3. I doubt this is an actual issue.

Yeah, seriously. When I purchase an indie game I expect it to differentiate itself with artistic vision more than 100 hours of gameplay I don't enjoy or have time for. So many of the 100 hour games are boring and bloated as hell at a certain point, e.g. Ubisoft games. Nintendo's new Zelda formula is the only open world gameplay style where I enjoyed the entire 100+ hours of playtime and I don't expect indie devs to produce fucking Zelda.
