Solasta is a labour's if people who actually like what they're working.
Bg3 is about making as much money as possible hence bragging about how much money they're making. The sad part of it is that bg3 is dnd enough that a lot if people who buy the game are gonna be dissappinted that the game is dnd despite all the changes.
Those are the ones who pay full price and will stop playing within 2 hour max. Meanwhile, those of us 'complaining' about the rules changes will play and enjoy the game largely because it is dnd.
The best parts of the game are dnd.
Oh, you must have just started gaming this last week, so you must be unaware of companies that put out half finished games and then expect you to pay for the game to be finished.
Or you must not have heard of Loot boxes, p2win, cash shops and superficial DLC.
None of which are in Bg3 and Larian doesn't have a habit of doing any of that stuff. I think they once released a single squirrel-themed DLC. Once. It was $2.
Also, the money the game makes will determine the quality and level of their next project, and that's I think the only reason they care. Money does matter, and it SHOULD matter to you if you had any idea what was at stake here.
Dev's are already QQ'ing about this game because it contains more in scope and depth then they are putting out - trying to shovel the same crap down people's throats and expecting them to not complain. Also because it doesn't have any extra monetization or microtransactions, which just makes them look even worse.
Blizzard JUST released a trash game called Diablo IV that was as usual a complete bait and switch - and people lapped up the marketing bullshit and shoveled that crap down their gullets and then *surprise pikachu face* when blizzard fucked them.
Don't worry, they will do it again next year I am sure. "There's a sucker born every minute" after all.
And you think Tactical Adventures doesn't care about money? The same thing I said about Larian applies to them. The money they make will determine their next project. They have FIVE DLC's that they released. They have hardcore fans that bought those all at full price plus the supporter pack, which is $83.94...for Solasta!
