    I wouldn’t say baldurs gate is mainstream, at least not in the same way as cyberpunk or Bethesdas games

      It’s in the top ten most played games on Steam and had sold at least 5 million; even that number is two months old and doesn’t include PlayStation. If I were to wager a guess, which you can often extrapolate from the number of reviews on Steam, it’s much closer to 10 million, which is how many copies a typical Assassin’s Creed or FIFA game will sell. Baldur’s Gate 3 is mainstream.
