Uh....BG3 was always $60. I bought it Oct 6th 2020.
I checked SteamDB, and you are right. I must be missremembering. But that just makes it worse.
Way to out yourself like that. You just don't preorder games. Especially in this day and age.
Larian has an exceptional track record on early access.
Doesn't matter if there's few or a bunch of nice apples in the basket. Few bad ones will spoil everything. Nothing will change in the industry if we don't shame people for preordering. There is nothing to gain from preordering in the age of digital distribution. There's just artificial incentives they use to fool us.
They have a good record and I had the money at the time to purchase it that I wasn't guaranteed to have when it came out. I've already got like 40 hours into the game and it's not even fully released. I think I've already got my money's worth and I'm certain to put in many more hours.
Why the aggression? Think before you type, please.
