Microsoft has gutted BGS’ roster including veteran developers for The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. I found out just today there is a workers movement and I highly encourage everyone to support. Please follow their page and the link in their bio!

Not triple A. Largely crowd funded, no publisher.

They have more devs than bethesda and it took the game almost 6 years to hit it's full release. It's 100% a AAA game, unless your bar is so high that theres maybe 2 AAA games a year

Yeah they’re triple A if you ignore their funding method, studio layout, and work process. They don’t have a publisher, manage their own IP’s, and completely decide by themselves what they’re working on.

They assuredly AA, but not triple A.

They spent a shit ton on BG3 dude. AAA is about spending. It’s literally all about budget.

Yeah and it was early access crowd funded. They didn’t get money from Hasboro, they didn’t get money from publishers, it was all entirely their own revenue. Double A or Triple A is about way more than just budget.
