The fact that a game this big even got finished in 3 years is amazing, also all the seethe from other developers complaining because BG3 is going to ruin their RPGs lulz.

It clearly is a troll thread :). trying to bait someone into getting themselves banned is an obvious indicator. Keep trying tho. I'm sure the devs are hurt by your opinion. :)

If your seriously inquiring as to the full price? Well the answer is simple, they did not want FOMO, and only wanted people who legit wanted to test the game, so they made a promise to never lower or raise the price in EA in main currencies, sadly this did happen in more unstable economies because of steams pricing.

But that was their intent not to bribe people to buy the game because of some discount.

I spent 60 € for the early access and already had 130 hours of fun with it

So far 0.46 per hour.

How much do you pay already ? to see 1.5 hours of the last marvel using the same scenarios for 10 years ?

what's FOMO, though still i'd prefer to have seen a lower price in EA like every other game & have them rise it to full price when game fully releases aka is out of EA, i'd actully have bought it then prob & test it

Were many of you here when Covid-19 grinded development down?

In 2021, they had to release a statement that the game would be delayed another two years due to issues stemming from the pandemic, microprocessor shortages, and other issues with the gaming industry. You're looking at a game that might have died during EA if not for the foresight to expand Larian to accommodate more employees instead of shutting things down and cutting their losses. The game was supposed to release end of 2020 if I'm not mistaken, but they delayed the game twice since Covid-19 royally messed things up.

Larian has my money, and I hope they spent it well. Tomorrow, I'm going to have more fun than I've had since I first played any DnD video game. They didn't give up on this game, and I'm not giving up on them. EA was a blast, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to cherish my time in the full game as well.

Right you're talking about this situation as if Covid-19 only hit them or gaming industry specifically & totally not mess up the whole economy in general & lives of everyone across the entire world in every aspect possible & still leaving after effects from it to this day....

You guys arent even trying anymore. Get some masterful bait not this low quality chum

This is precisely THE reason why it affected Larian so hard. They were already transitioning new equipment and new workers. Those people -- as you also admitted the world being affected -- were also being affected by the same things that affected us. Did you think Larian workers lived in a vacuum while the rest of us suffered? Like I said, the microprocessor shortage didn't just affect XBox or Sony, it spilled across the entire planet. Imagine you're in a phase where you're working on engine tweaks and combat code, and you need new systems to accommodate new workers for ongoing up-sizing at your company. Then Covid hits. Some employees either lose their lives, are stuck in quarantine situations, forced to work from home, or a myriad other reasons Covid-19 made life miserable for any one of us. The processor shortage is just one reason in a plethora other reasons why things went bad enough. At least they were transparent about it.

They had to grow from 120 to 400 people -- that's compared to Bethesda's 420 employees in 2021. Even with setbacks the whole development cycle took seven years, which is on par for how long a Bethesda game is usually in development for. If anything, Larian did a crazy good job for the strain.

For contrast (comparison really)... Starfield has been in development for exactly seven years, and it also had two pushbacks. Mull that around in your head a quick sec.

In terms of normality in regards to EA, its doing quiet well. Most Devs Use EA as an excuse to never release the game and blame any issues on EA. I have hated EA since it was released. Still, I do opt in to them all the time. Hypocrite, Amirite?

well the years amount is just a bonus, the main point is that the game is priced at 60€ while being in early access & to that the main point is a game in early access shouldn't be priced at full games amount even if it's 2 day away from full release, everyone replying here with pure hate & troll comments can't read that aspect or at the very least can't understand what this topic is even about even though it couldn't be more simple & direct as i literally wrote it like that -.''

Why shouldn't it be full price?
