Okay at the risk of sounding like a complete and total hypocrite who participated in the bashing as much if not more than anyone else here:
Is anyone getting a little bit sick of the negativity levels in this thread? There's a surprising amount of toxic feelings of betrayal and of being ignored for a game we haven't even seen yet. Sure, there are some systems issues that we don't like, but we don't know they didn't listen to the rest yet.
I've seen more accusations of these feelings of betrayal than actual feelings of it, but that's probably my own biased perception from people piling onto responses to my posts that obviously didn't read them. It's hilarious in a way - I haven't actually given Larian feedback for BG3 to feel "betrayed or ignored" about.
I'm "betrayal-proof", lol.
My most pressing concern about release is getting mods to work on Linux, and that's pretty much it.
However, I do understand if people came into this thinking "early access" meant the thing they'd have access to would be actively developed, and that simply isn't the case - its price funded active development of the rest of the game, which was happening while the demo itself was occasionally updated but largely left alone. Now, that said, I do tend to agree with Darth_Trethon here (even if his suggestion that I had such expectations was... silly):
If you expected anything else that is your fault
Regardless of any procedural issues you may have with Larian's... let's say "understanding" of early access, Larian has always been honest about what it actually entailed for BG3 - so you should have figured this wasn't really "early access" by now. There's really nothing to feel betrayed about, just a misunderstanding of what was being offered. The mislabeling doesn't help, but if an apple is labeled a banana and you accuse it of betrayal only after you've picked it up, taken a bite, and started chewing... that's kind of on you.
