Wasn't it also early access? At least some part of it? Or am I remembering the wrong game.
I'm confused why people are upset at early access. It can be done badly to sell a game that isn't finished for full price.
But Larian has always done early access this way: first act for testing. And it works great.
It was early access for like 3 years. Which allowed them to release a fully finished game, or the closest we had from that state since no one remembers when actually.
The first of three acts was in early access for nearly 3 years
Yup! A couple YEARS early access even, afaik!
Facts are for losers. We've got nostalgia to bait.
They are literally the exception that proves the rule.
When everyone is shocked that the game was even complete without day1 DLC, you know the industry is fucked.
Well it's very much the exception to a near-absolute rule, so the original point still stands 🤷
