BG3 was disappointing from a monetization perspective? How on earth, it sold over 20 million copies in less than a year!

- entropicdrifter 3y agoIt's a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Hasbro's income from BG3 pales in comparison to MTG boosters from this year alone, let alone the income over time.
- Macha 3y agoIt's also clear from Hasbro's own statements they didn't expect it to do so well. Maybe they thought it would have sold like a Divinity 3 and as such gave Larian a better deal on the IP licensing than they think they could have got if they'd known in advance how well it would sell.
- heelix 3y agoBG3 was the first game I've paid full price for, since Doom 3. Almost any of the 'modern' game sales concepts - game passes, ridiculous DLC, loot boxes, etc - have me waiting years after release for the GOTY version at a heavy, heavy discount. I would buy the heck out of another DnD game like BG. Shame anyone would look at that and say meh, more battlefield.
