If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

The job of the AAA gaming company is to make money, not good games.

For the same reason McDonalds is never going to serve filet mignon, big gaming companies are never going to release feature-compete passion projects.

Witcher 3, the Last of Us (ps3), Baldurs Gate 3, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Elden Ring, Read Dead Redemption 2 (offline), Zelda, etc...

There are plenty of triple A games that were well received that didn't involve gambling and mtx.

Ones that weren't well received like Cyberpunk 2077 did well too.

I don’t care how they were received. Give me a total revenue comparison.
