Larian is the new CDProjectktRed. And by that I mean they are projected to be a perfect, infallible, manifestation of developer perfection that gamers will worship and praise blindly until Larian proves themselves to be mere mortals by making a mistake.
I‘m starting to get the impression people build them up precisely to watch them fall and kick them down. It‘s in our DNA, I‘m afraid. I mean the praise they get for the most mundane claims (and often they are just that) is ridiculous to the point they‘re becoming the developer version of the life of Brian. And deep down we‘re already anticipating to watch them bleed out at a cross.

Their future mistakes notwithstanding, I can still appreciate the good work they’re doing now.
Thankfully I’ve loved them for like a decade now so. It’s okay if they topple I saw them rise 😆
This is true if you ignore that their history starts in the 90s with some pretty average games, not in 2017…
You’re thinking too literally.

same with naughty dog 😂 I’m waiting for Insomniac to screw up next (hopefully not)
Not a good precedent.
“by making a mistake”
Is a bit of a understatement I’d say.
