The only thing AAA publishers and developers will learn from this is they'll look at the sales numbers from Baldur's Gate, then look at their profits from their psychologicaly fine tuned monitized games and come to the conclusion that the majority of gamers are suckers and will continue to bleed the gaming community dry as they clamour for the next CoD, FIFA, and Diablo.
