Slaps the hood of Baldur’s Gate 3 this bad boy can fit so many wildly exceeded expectations for a complete AAA-title at launch in 2023

Wasn't it also early access? At least some part of it? Or am I remembering the wrong game.

I'm confused why people are upset at early access. It can be done badly to sell a game that isn't finished for full price.

But Larian has always done early access this way: first act for testing. And it works great.

It was early access for like 3 years. Which allowed them to release a fully finished game, or the closest we had from that state since no one remembers when actually.

The first of three acts was in early access for nearly 3 years

Yup! A couple YEARS early access even, afaik!
