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.

Not exactly, though I see your point. I think it would be more accurate if McDonald's charged for ketchup, mustard, salt, drink cups, lids, straws etc.

Fun fact: In literally every single analogy that has ever and will ever exist, you can add things to it to make it even more analogous.

What can we add to fun facts to make them even more fun? 🤔
