Nominations for the Game Awards have been announced. Among the 8 nominations for BG3 is �Best Community Support�. My immediate reaction was surprise: In my view, Larian�s relationship to the community could be qualified as negligent, exploitative or adversarial � hardly award-worthy.
That being said, �best� is a relative term. Maybe it�s okay for Larian to have sold an incomplete Mac version under false advertising for at least month with no explanation or apology. Maybe it�s okay that the 17�000 endings do not in fact exist, or that the game launched with missing tech while Larian touted its feature-completeness.
I don�t know� On the one hand I feel like the Early Access process put me in a sour disposition towards Larian and I may be being unnecessarily harsh on them. On the other hand I feel my distrust of Larian stems directly from their poor community support. So let them have their victory lap; let them reap awards by the armful. But do they really deserve to win this one?
