Of all the games to comment this on, BG3 is one game that is justified at full price for the sheer density of it, and all of it interesting. From day one they were hotfixing and it’s never run badly, just not perfectly optimized.
I get gaming on a budget but this comment really sounds like hate trying to say it doesn’t deserve full price.
Realistically, gaming is an inexpensive hobby if you’re smart about it. I’m astounded at what people spend on things like dining, alcohol, sports (travel and gear), hunting, boats/atvs, etc. That $60 game you’ll play every day for a month would be a daily expense in other circles.
For certain kinds of games I like to buy them for full price to show my support to the developers. I bought Original Sin 2 for full price and I’m buying Baldur’s Gate 3 at full price.
That’s a big reason why I checked out of console gaming for many, many years. I went from the original NES to the PS2. And I made a specific point to buy the disc version of my PS5 so I could still get dirt cheap used games.
My love for the first two games is sortof why I’m avoiding it. I mean, I even didn’t like the concept of the proposed Black Hound game being called Baldur’s Gate 3. So I’m going to come in with opinions and just ruin it for myself even if its as good as some say, and that’s assuming WoTC having decades to ruin every scrap of coherency in the setting’s lore hasn’t impacted things negatively.
(One thing I really appreciate about Larian’s handling of BG3 is that they gave me enough info to come to that conclusion first.)

Truthfully? No game is worth $60-70 (to me).
Especially when that same game costs $30 a year later.
I’ve never paid full price for any videogame.
Correct.

This has nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with capitalism though.
Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

in the 80s and 90s piracy was absolutely rampant though
Friendly reminder that some people earn full price in less than an hour of work, while others don’t earn that much in a week.
Yup. Prices are a % of one’s income. It might 0.002% for someone and 32% for another.
The poster said keep patching, as if they will help it come down in price.
I’m not so sure they are worried of the price and more for a buggy game at full price (which it absolutely is NOT)

And for me, it doesn’t. Sorry to hear that you’re having that issue.
