Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will be "chonky," with fixes for performance issues and other issues

  I get gaming on a budget but this comment really sounds like hate trying to say it doesn’t deserve full price.

  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)

  Truthfully? No game is worth $60-70.

  Especially when that same game costs $30 a year later.

  I’ve never paid full price for any videogame.

    Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.

      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.

      in the 80s and 90s piracy was absolutely rampant though

    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.

    This has nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with capitalism though.

  I am normally a budget gamer, but Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood, and after seeing how good the game was, I caved. And I’m glad I did! I am 8 hours into the storyline and I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. The quality is fantastic. AC6 might break me too, but I think I can be patient on that one.

    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.

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