BL3 was generic and forgettable. BL4 anything more than 40$ is easily forgettable. Don’t these guys know most gamers have backlogs at this point? No one has the money for this shit.

My wishlist is long and at least one game on it gets a deep discount every week. I’m busy playing games between 2€-20€.

There hasn’t been a major release that would justify paying 50€ and more for years.

Baldurs Gate 3 was the last game I got at full price and didn’t regret.

The more I think about it, maybe it’s for the whales of PC gaming.

Let the streamers, YouTubers and FOMO folks pay a premium to do all the bug testing.

Then release a polished version for half the price.

A person like me with a massive backlog is absolutely going to wait until this hits less than $20 anyways.
