EA nowadays is an AMAZING marketing way to screw fans over, while at the same time give the illusion to people that they are being listened to for future developments / patches. Its just a win win solution when making a game now. You can be SURE that Larian already knew what fans would complain about, it is incredibly OBVIOUS.
So basically fans of DOS games will be pretty happy. Fans of Baldurs gate games not so happy. And fans of D&D in general pretty unhappy. They ALL bought into EA. Money in the bank from lovers of BG3 and haters alike.
I am happy to support rpgs that look good to me in EA or Kickstarter because I know they don't make as much money as other types of games. However, if you don't like EA, just wait until full release to get a game, as it says on the BG3 steam page.
