Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Would you participate in an EA release again?

To be honest, probably not.

On initial release, there were still a lot of game breaking bugs and issues. It was frustrating for me.

A lot of issues that people noted during early access were either never fixed or took a very long time to fix. EA got some support, but Larian seemingly resented having to pull developers away from the full game to support EA. Larian also never (except maybe for the reaction system?) mentioned how they handled EA feedback and what was changed as a result of our feedback.

So, to me, EA was primarily a cash grab to fund development of a game that they didn’t have the cash flow to cover. Despite Larian’s claims that they wanted additional feedback to improve the game, I never really got the impression that it it was a high priority for them.
