I don't think it is a scam at all. But I do think the EA was premature and probably financially motivated. Do you honestly think that the "Early Access version that feels complete, fun to play, and has as little stub (unfinished) content as possible"? I realise you are not a native English speaker, but surely you can see the inconsistency between the wording and the actual in-game content?

I even gave you a quote from the steam store page. You can just scroll up and read it yourself. Their claim to "as little stub (unfinished) content as possible" clearly contradicts your view.


Did you start reading from the fourth section? Try reading the first two sections. They are more than clear on the topic.

We want to learn how you play the game and use that to make it a better experience for everyone.

Will I enjoy Early Access?
You should not buy Baldur’s Gate 3 in Early Access if you want a polished experience.

Early Access gives you a chance at an early taste of what the gameplay will be like but we still have a lot of work ahead of us. While we did our best to remove the most annoying bugs and optimize the game as much as we could, there are still plenty of issues and it will take us time to fix them. Only buy the game now if you want an early look or if you want to participate in community feedback. Otherwise, you’re probably best off waiting until version 1.0 releases.”
