Edit: The difference being with shareware you didn’t have to pay any money to try the game. Basically the game was the demo as well as a full game, and once you played the first part of it for free, and you decided you liked it, then you paid and the rest of the game you already had was unlocked.
“buying a full game and, once you played the first part of it, you decided you liked it, then you paid and the rest of the game you already had was unlocked.”
“Free to play game with paid expansion packs and DLC”
Right there. There’s the blatant dishonesty. You’ve just described two different scenarios while attempting to portray them as the same.
I think wizards of the coast will demand more products that are part of baldur’s gate 3. Tbf, baldur’s gate 1 and 2 are known for their expansions. I wouldn’t be opposed to an expansion or two.

You’re being purposely confusing and intellectually dishonest, in an attempt to control the narrative.
