What a weird article, most of it is focused on a Twitter comment about the success of BG3 being "like David and Goliath", but the author can't even figure out what "Goliath" would be in this context.

Larian isn't exactly a small studio, I can't imagine thinking of them as "David" in any real context. What a weird thing to say...

    I think Goliath is the expectations that they've set as far as video game development goes.

    So they're defeating... themselves? I feel like there's at least one analogy that would fit better here.

    I see it like a concert my wife went to once. The closer was Godsmack, but they followed Rob Zombie for some dumbass reason. How the fuck do you compete with Rob Zombie? So, of course the Godsmack set was boring.
