The Main Lesson From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Should Be ‘People Hate Microtransactions’ - eviltoast

If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

    Nah, the lesson AAA devs will take from this is “gamers want more boobies”, and we’ll start seeing nudity DLC, romance season pass, plastic surgery loot boxes, etc. I bet even Link will show some ass cheeks in the next game.

      I don’t really get this argument. Titillation occasionally is nice. Similar to prestige shows. But if it was soft-core all the time or too much, people would lose interest in the plot.
      That and there’s quite a few decent porn games now. Ones that look better in the…dongles than BG3 does. Ones with decent stories. If people want interactive porn, it’s there already. And oftentimes cheap or free.
