While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.

BG 3 is so stupid, it's not even optimizing micro transactions for maximum profits

How am I supposed to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment without paying for my dice rolls?

Wonder what a divine crit roll would cost, $5 in combat $3 outside? Heck that's too complicated $10 for all, $7 for season pass holders.

For those wondering there is no season pass.

They would have to also start charging to save scum. Why would I pay $5 for a crit when I can just reload my save and try until I get one? Every new save is $0.50 and every reload is also $0.50.

Fuck it, exiting the game now costs $2. We need to recoup the opportunity cost of you not being somewhere you can be directly marketed to.

How can I save time and pay to skip playing the game?

"Leaving money on the table" must be the exec's perspective.
