      Of all the games to comment this on, BG3 is one game that is justified at full price for the sheer density of it, and all of it interesting. From day one they were hotfixing and it’s never run badly, just not perfectly optimized.

      I get gaming on a budget but this comment really sounds like hate trying to say it doesn’t deserve full price.

        Friendly reminder that some people earn full price in less than an hour of work, while others don’t earn that much in a week.

          Yup. Prices are a % of one’s income. It might 0.002% for someone and 32% for another.

          The poster said keep patching, as if they will help it come down in price.

          I’m not so sure they are worried of the price and more for a buggy game at full price (which it absolutely is NOT)

          Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

          For certain kinds of games I like to buy them for full price to show my support to the developers. I bought Original Sin 2 for full price and I’m buying Baldur’s Gate 3 at full price.

          Realistically, gaming is an inexpensive hobby if you’re smart about it. I’m astounded at what people spend on things like dining, alcohol, sports (travel and gear), hunting, boats/atvs, etc. That $60 game you’ll play every day for a month would be a daily expense in other circles.

      Lmao, if by wins you mean loses out than yea. BG3 is an amazing experience and you’re not gonna have a bad time period in terms of playability.

      This isn’t the games that day 1, week 1, week 2, etc patches because the game was released unfinished. This is them taking serious user feedback for small niche issues. That’s how you properly care for your user base.

      But keep hating on things you don’t actually understand I guess
