In line with Red Queen’s request, I’m going to try and not escalate, but I do feel it necessary to point out:
Nowhere did I say people cant like the game on their own without being tricked
Yes, you absolutely did.
Quite plainly.
Right here:
Gamers are desperate for that good ol dev/game that can stick it to the evil corporations like Activision or EA so they latch themselves onto 'underdogs' while ignoring reality, add FOMO to that and you have BG3
And if you weren’t aware and it wasn’t your intention, I’m just letting you know that is reads very much as “my opinion is right and your (fans) opinions are invalid for these reasons.”
Giving you the benefit of the doubt here.
Also, I never remotely suggested that marketing wasn’t consequential to BG3’s success. I don’t know where you picked that up from.
