Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will be "chonky," with fixes for performance issues and other issues
Larian Studios released the first major patch for Baldur's Gate 3 last week, and it wants you to know that Patch 2 is in the works. Michael Douse, L

Of all the games to comment this on, BG3 is one game that is justified at full price for the sheer density of it, and all of it interesting. From day one they were hotfixing and it's never run badly, just not perfectly optimized.
I get gaming on a budget but this comment really sounds like hate trying to say it doesn't deserve full price.

Friendly reminder that some people earn full price in less than an hour of work, while others don't earn that much in a week.
Yup. Prices are a % of one's income. It might 0.002% for someone and 32% for another.
The poster said keep patching, as if they will help it come down in price.
I’m not so sure they are worried of the price and more for a buggy game at full price (which it absolutely is NOT)
I am normally a budget gamer, but Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood, and after seeing how good the game was, I caved. And I'm glad I did! I am 8 hours into the storyline and I still feel like I've only scratched the surface. The quality is fantastic. AC6 might break me too, but I think I can be patient on that one.
My love for the first two games is sortof why I'm avoiding it. I mean, I even didn't like the concept of the proposed Black Hound game being called Baldur's Gate 3. So I'm going to come in with opinions and just ruin it for myself even if its as good as some say, and that's assuming WoTC having decades to ruin every scrap of coherency in the setting's lore hasn't impacted things negatively. (One thing I really appreciate about Larian's handling of BG3 is that they gave me enough info to come to that conclusion first.)

What justified a game to me is not having something else I'm playing right now, so that I would actually have time to play it.
The issue is always time, not money. :'(
While I agree that it's definitely allowed to be a full price game (especially for a smaller studio) let's not pretend this game doesn't run badly. A PC game in 2023 running on an SSD shouldn't have a 3 minute loading screen for the opening menu, followed by another 3 minute loading screen, followed by the environment popping in one object at a time.
And for me, it doesn't. Sorry to hear that you're having that issue.
So much privilege in this one comment

Let's be thankful we don't live in the 80s anymore. Games are much more expensive than when taking inflation into account.
For certain kinds of games I like to buy them for full price to show my support to the developers. I bought Original Sin 2 for full price and I'm buying Baldur's Gate 3 at full price.

in the 80s and 90s piracy was absolutely rampant though
Realistically, gaming is an inexpensive hobby if you're smart about it. I'm astounded at what people spend on things like dining, alcohol, sports (travel and gear), hunting, boats/atvs, etc. That $60 game you'll play every day for a month would be a daily expense in other circles.
This has nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with capitalism though.

Who asked
To everyone that buys a game on day one, at full price. Thank you for your service.
It's worth the money.
My entire D&D group. Thanks gang!
Also it's a Larian game, so not only will it have all the thousands of bugs fixed (literally, the first patch had over a thousand fixes), you'll probably get the Extended Enhanced Definitive Divine Edition that rewrites half the quests and adds a bunch of new ones.
Pay less money for more game. This is the way.
Lmao, if by wins you mean loses out than yea. BG3 is an amazing experience and you’re not gonna have a bad time period in terms of playability.
This isn’t the games that day 1, week 1, week 2, etc patches because the game was released unfinished. This is them taking serious user feedback for small niche issues. That’s how you properly care for your user base.
But keep hating on things you don’t actually understand I guess
