  I don’t see what you find cringy or entitled from this open letter, they explain the problems they encounter while working on mods and explain how Larian can help with that. This is the best way to handle such a request as a group.

  And no, they aren’t entitled to their demands, but that doesn’t mean that those demands aren’t admissible. While they do not own the game itself, they do contribute to it’s success and the studio will benefit from helping them.

  Also, it seems like you view modding as just some small tweaks for the fun of it (which might be the case for bg3, but from the letter it doesn’t seem so), but some game mods can become fairly huge, both in work size and popularity. While I don’t know much about the bg3 scene, I remember quite a few minecraft modders who received death threats because they “took too long” to update their mods to the latest version. There’s a real pressure behind that work, you can’t just brush it off because “they don’t own the game”

  I don’t know about the specific situation you are talking about, but this sounds like a perfectly fine request. Needing to spent time debugging your mod at random because an unexpected patch just dropped and players suddenly can’t use it anymore doesn’t sound fun. Especially considering how little extra work it would take the studio to document their fix to the mod community a bit early.

  In a fair fight sure, but this sneaky fucker can read inputs like those cheaty fighting games bots

  I know right. Imagine the horror: you are about to eat a tasty platic bag, but you realize it’s actually a jellyfish

  Us by Jordan Peele. It’s a great movie, but that ending scene is terrible. They don’t need to insist so much to make sure that the dumb viewer gets it… It’s heavily hinted during the last few scenes, and letting the viewer wondering alongside the terrified son who his mother really his, and who we’d like her to be, would be so much more impactfull.

  I don’t know about this specific building, so this is just speculation, but it looks like an old public building, something like a school, city hall, could even be a market or public bathroom. My guess is those door are new, and a way to close an otherwise open entry to a courtyard.
