If you're unhappy with this game then unsub... forever.

Did you... not even read the post of mine that you responded to? The one which directly outlined how monetization is directly affecting the player experience and entertainment factor?

I did read it and I disagreed with your conclusions.

This sentence right here is just inherently wrong. Monetization and fun are inherently linked, not because people find paying fun or not, but because the C-Suite at the game company is incentivized to get you to cough up as much money as possible. Usually this is by doing things like making it so you can't re-earn event items and instead putting them in the shop, or drip feeding patch content so that people stay subbed. Ever wonder why x.x5 patches, with more content, are often a month or two AFTER the main line patch? It's not because they are worried about everyone going through it too fast, it's so they can milk more money out of you that you might not have spent otherwise.

In other words, the developers are actively incentivized to make the game LESS fun if it means making the company MORE profit. And they often do.

Again, I disagree. A game can still be fun despite questionable monetization.

Nothing says you must buy everything.

Nothing says a game must be a babysitter keeping you occupied 16 hours a day every day.

Just maybe the problem many of the posters have around here are setting their expectations too high for what a game must be.

For those of you enjoying BG3 right now, what are you going to do when you've completed the story after 120-140 hours of play time? Complain that there wasn't more content?

Except when what is being released in game is subpar compared to what's being released on the store, then it's less fun.

I don't see everything being released in the game as being subpar to what's on the store.


I understand that you feel differently but that's subjective. Everyone has a different opinion.

I mean it is fact though at least in the glam department, compare the street glam for example to what we get in game, yeah, the quality is on the mog shop, not in game.

The store in FF is about as low quality as a lot of the stuff in-game, to be fair though.

Depends which item tbh, the street glam for example is very nice, there's quite a few nice dresses too like all the eastern stuff amongst other things.
