No? I’m quite literally not. Put BG3 in a dedicated buggy-ass launcher, slap some DRM on it, some bullshit kernel-level anti-cheat, fill it with bugs and sell it for $70 and people will complain about it, too, even though it’s a really good game.
you can’t blame Ubisoft alone for this
I’m not and I don’t. Don’t know where you got that idea.
Tastes differ.
This has nothing to do with “taste”. It has to do with anti-consumer shitfuckery.
It’s nothing to do with the quality of the game. It’s to do with obscene pricing, a shitty experience, and a general enshittification of the gaming experience that people are financially supporting.
It’s a handheld PC with a built-in controller. I don’t know how you can say that it’s not a competitor. Plenty of people are happy to deal with Windows for whatever reason. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it not a competitor.
If I wanted to make an argument for why it’s not, I’d say it’s because it doesn’t matter what hardware you have, they’re all going to be used to buy games on Steam.
I didn’t buy it because Denuvo and Tencent (its already been repacked by fitgirl) but my brother did and he’s in my steam family. He’s played it for 18 hours already so I haven’t even had a chance to dive into it but it looks good. Ill try to report back later.
The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.
Except you don’t find out the devs/publishers released a broken game until after you buy it. Which is like, way too common. You can direct your frustrations to the publishers who insist on pushing out broken games and fixing them later.
