Yes sure PubisDeciusMons, Larian made us used to better!
Actually, CE's are getting more expensive. Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader is being sold for $299 and Final Fantasy XVI CE is being sold for $350. Yikes. I guess it all boils down to how bad you want it. I played the original BG in 1998 when I was 17 and loved it, and BG2 was even better -- like the greatest CRPG I had ever played at that point in my life. So of course, I have the CEs of both of those games. I'm also a lifelong DnD player. So, for me, the CE of BG3 is worth it... even after having already purchased EA.
I see your point but I feel like half of the CE was especially well crafted (at least, I presume because we don't see much of the artwork book or the sides of the Diorama, by example)
Again, it feels like a great project rushed in the middle and thrown away in the air.
The CE is still not out of stock after one week, that's a surprise, or maybe not so, it totally proves my point when I opened the topic.
Anyway, I don't want to "spit" on Larian, I'm still greatly happy of the game and all their many efforts.
