Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What was purpose of Early Acess?

There is a bit of anxiety that EA was just a kickstarter with a demo. Constructive feedback flooded Larian’s various forum tools, and it seems the majority was ignored.

Not to say it’s looking like a bad game lacking in ambition, but that the ambition may have inadequately leveraged player feedback and concerns.

Edit to Add:

For me, I can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at Niara’s saying she is bitter. While I may not have agreed with everything she posted, the sheer amount of effort, passion, and care she put into her contributions was sometimes overwhelming. For a longtime forum contributor like that to walk away in sadness… well, it fills me with a sense of dread concerning player feedback and its perceived utility.

Not to say the forum is entitled to being heard, or that the playerbase ought to be obeyed, but I look around and I think, “What was all of this for?”
