‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ can be a fantastic experience and a bad game at the same time.

    Honestly, it’s this part that really bothers me:

    Take it from Cory Rodis, a professional game developer, designer, and educator with over a decade of experience in the field.

    Clearly from Linkedin and Moby Games, this person does not have over a decade of experience in the field. If you count teaching as “in the field” (which to me, in the field means not teaching but actually doing.) then they have 6 years of experience. Not counting that, they have 2 years.

    Also, and maybe I am out of the loop but this doesn’t seem to be a semi-major internet publication to me. This is my first time hearing of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Abrams#The_Mary_Sue this is the only information I really found on it’s popularity and it seems kind of weak. Am I missing something, is it a really popular site for something like anime or comics?

      I see the site posted a lot so I assumed it’s semi-major but I dunno it’s just an internet news site.

      Anyway I agree the “in the field” part is weird. Also the fact that the author knew the “expert” that was cited and the info came from a discord post makes it seem like a bit of a puff piece.
