  Based on how they bought DnD Beyond and then stopped supporting user experience improvements in favor of increasing the annoyance of the Marketplace, they will be nowhere close to BG3 and will most likely be microtransaction hell.

    Imagine you buy the base game and it comes with the fighter class only.

    Then it’s 20 dollars for the rogue and each other class.

    Wizard spells, forget that gold cost to scribe a spell into your book. Pay real money to own the spell.

    Only 5 hours of content initially too, new parts of the story released monthly with a subscription tied to it.

  Same vibe as any newly announced live-service game in the last 6 years claiming that their battle pass will be like Fortnite. Comparing yourself to the top dog doesn’t put you in front of the kibble bowl.
