    Don’t get me wrong - I’m absolutely happy that this game is doing well, that people love it, that it isn’t exploitative, etc. those are all great things.

    But do we need a daily article essentially restating the same thing?

      Yes! Articles about popularity should always be as populous as the popular pop culture topic.

      Pop.

    Look, I was enjoying the game a lot, but these articles are getting a little out of hand. I don’t think this game is as huge a triumph as journalists might have you believe.

    Yes the gaming landscape is filled with MTX heavy live-services but as much as BG3 is a complete product it’s not as if we don’t still get games like that just look at the other releases in 2023 it started off with freakin’ Hi-Fi Rush.

    And for all it’s successes BG3 still has major faults. It preforms terribly after only a few hours of play to what I can only imagine is a memory leak issue but performance issues aside there are mechanical problems that are baked into the core of the game so…

    I dunno, I’m glad that the game is finding success and I’m glad that people are enjoying it but it’s just a bit much, I mean Bombrush Cyberfunk just came out and I’ve heard nothing on that game from these outlets.
