Baldur’s Gate 3 is looking to be one of the best games of 2023 in a year already full of some of the best games of the generation. And their stance on microtransactions is great.
“No, there are no in-game purchases in our game. We believe in providing a complete and immersive gaming experience without the need for additional purchases. Enjoy the game to its fullest without any additional costs or microtransactions.”
If FS follows their past games, Armored Core 6 won’t have MTX either. Maybe a DLC, but I’m somewhat ok with expansions costing money as long as it brings actual content to the game.
I don’t remember any FS games having MTX, but I could be wrong.
Wildly successful $15 game with basically no microtransactions. There’s a $20 supporter pack that has a couple skins, but it’s very clearly marked as “hey if you wanna toss the devs some extra cash, you can”
To save you a click:

I love this so much. Thank you Larian for setting a shining example in this horrible industry.
Hoping the success of games like BG3 and Battlebit opens the possibility of some return to sane monetization

Agreed. Sanity would be nice.
Wait, I’m out of the loop ok battlebit. I know of the game but why mention it here ?
