    Not the games themselves, the development standards set by them. Both of them came out in a complete state and did not require microtransactions to support them. While they will obviously receive updates in the future (Elden Ring has seen many at this point), they have defied the common pitfalls of "games as a live service" in that they were of high quality upon release. Their respective development teams have delivered precisely what they said they would. In fact, I'd say the team behind BG3 went above and beyond.

    In other words:
    - Games that work right out of the gate, lacking severe bugs
    - Games that feel complete, not requiring subsequent patches to fill in the gaps
    - Games that are not driven by corporate greed, which is to say that either lack entirely or minimize the intrusiveness of microtransactions.
    - Games wherein the developers do listen to player feedback and monitor various statistics to try and keep the game at the highest quality possible
    - Games that maintain a high standard of gameplay without sacrificing other elements
