Yeah, I do feel like I come from a different timeline or have played a different game when I see how harsh some of the criticisms get here. The ending is quite bad. There are performance issues. Act 3 is bloated and the writing feels more rushed. But it's still a really good game, and with the amount of hours I've put into it and the enjoyment I've gotten from it, I can never feel scammed by Larian. It already made itself worth its money back in Early Access. I don't feel owed nothing, and I don't think them not continuing to work on the game or a future BG4 is personally attacking me, saddened as I am. I want new content and fixes to the worst stuff in the game as much as anyone else, but I don't think they mishandled the announcement and were inconsiderate or something.
To some extent, the comments where people say they are never going to buy a Larian game again strike me as disingenuous and pulling a "Karen", so to speak. When the game starts exaggeratedly being referred to as a piece of trash I can't help but think it's trying to guilt Larian into catering to a specific whim, like one of those really pissed off and overblown google reviews for a random restaurant that took 5 minutes too long to deliver the food.
I'll buy their next game as long as it's not sci-fi, sure. It's more about the content being to my liking than the company, really.
