  • It is a monopoly - they just don’t abuse it as much against their audience.

    For developers it’s either take their 30% deal or just don’t sell your game because a lot of people only use steam.

    Not even Cyberpunk or the Witcher could sell more on gog than on steam even though you knew that there the developers got 100% of the money spent. Gwent standalone flopped so hard on GOG that it had to be rereleased with limited features on steam and sold more there

    People are just fundamentally lazy so it totally is a problem that you have one store with such a massive market share even if it’s very convenient for the end-user they can completely exploit their position against publishers.

    Sure EPICs way of making games exclusive to their store is not elegant but without that no-one would choose that store over steam



  • An inventory management button that would automatically distribute wares to the character with the least carried stuff would already hope a lot - especially if we would be able to save that every cup, fork, etc would automatically be marked as wares and if there was a way to mark multiple things as wares at the same time (and if " sell all wares" would sell everything from all inventories present and not just for the talking character)

    Selling wares remotely that are in camp and having an option to automatically send everything marked as wares to camp would also help a lot

    I feel as if BG3 could do a lot more with the “wares” marker to make the weight limit less annoying

    Moving cups and plates from one char to another just isn’t fun


  • The only thing annoying with BG3 is that “sell all wares” only refers to those at the current character

    I’d have liked it if stuff marked as wares would always be automatically distributed between the characters (or that there was a button to do this)

    Also why can I select multiple items at once and move them between characters but not mark multiple items as wares?

    Why can’t I save that every cup I pick up should go to wares automatically?

    I feel as if BG3 could’ve made the whole carrying thing far less annoying with ways to do less inventory management




  • I think the most important part is that it launched without DRM on GOG and was able to be pirated from day 1 and it STILL was a huge success because people knew that the game isn’t trying anything shady to get even more money from you

    It’s just something people actually want to support and not like people feel like even if they buy the game they only have half an experience if they don’t spend more money later

    I really hope the next financial report from Larian is making people think differently about the necessity of putting aggressive DRM in their games

    People don’t pirate because they don’t want to pay - they pirate because they don’t trust the game to bit pull more shady shit later and not be worth it in the end
