In a Reddit post, developer Vedinad asked, “What are your thoughts on Robinette?” and explained their thinking: “My initial thought is to nerf the passive late game so it doesn’t scale beyond all other characters.” They went on to admit, “I don’t really want to nerf her because she’s fun as hell, but that likely leaves us with an undisputed character who will dominate the leaderboards.”
Vedinad noted that the alternative—buffing every other character—would require massive, uniform increases to passives, which could destabilize balance: “That’s not a balancing patch I can do overnight.” One suggested solution was to convert Robinette’s gold-to-damage interaction into an item, but the developer cautioned that any item would need to be weaker than Robinette’s innate effect or it would simply become the only meta build.
Sandfall says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning GOTY “isn’t something we aim for,” and while it would be a “nice little bonus,” the studio is cheering for Megabonk.
