Yeah, this sums up really well. BG3 still have many flaws and flow issue but because of the shit other publishers did pushed our "good game" bar so far below it's actually not hard to have a passion project that come out ahead.

I haven't played GoW:R Valhalla yet but that's also something they put together while financially successful without putting a price tag on it. I don't mind if SantaMonica put a price on it and than ask for more money, but their decision to keep GoW series DLC/MTX free just keep me on board for their future launch window sale.(and I am willing to fork out extra for digital deluxe. I might do a pre-order like 1 day before next time to get the pre-order limited stuff, which turns out pretty decent in GoW:R, not necessary, but decent gear. ) I am still upset about Sony's PSN Plus price hike and no save back ups, but I will keep supporting the developers I love.
