    Good, let it rot at the bottom.

    If only shareholders could see what is happening and change their mind on what is a good, appealing game (à la BG3).

    I’ll keep dreaming.

      They can’t hear over the millions in profit from microtransactions

        Exactly this. People are so blinded by their bubbles that they think that these companies are actually having a hard time. And every single time they go like: “How often do we have to teach you this lesson?!”

        There.is.no.lesson! This whole BS works. They have never made more money.

      Continue to vote with your wallet. Don’t support crooks, throw your dollars at companies like Larian and hopefully the others will follow suit and start making good games.

        100%. This is a collective effort and since the market is mostly 20-40 yo demographic with disposable income, it’s up to them to do the right thing.
