Fair, altho this is not a new company and this is not their first game or anything.
They haven’t done it in the last 15-20 years(as far as I know , at least) since mtx were “invented”, what makes you think they might flip-flop now?
I just got burned by too many industry darlings turning out to be just another shop that screws their audience, or their employees, or forces crunch, or harasses minorities, or releases broken titles, or this or that.
Roadmaps, promises and decorations don’t mean a thing. Actions do. And actions can be only judged in time.
So far their record is great. Hope it stays this way. I will applaud them for what they’ve done so far. The rest - future will show.
If it helps none of Larian Studios’s games have had dlc and they’ve continued to support them long after release with major and minor content patches and updates. No company is ever fully above scrutiny and things can always change, but they really do mean it and they’ve been practicing what they preach for years.

Love that, but I’ve heard such statements before from companies who flip-flopped a few months down the line.
I’ll reserve my applause for next year(s).

I don’t think they will. I don’t hope they will.

They had DLCs which are totally free and given out as free extra content.
Oh yeah, sorry I should have been more clear that I mean no paid dlc
