Beware the Tentacle LSAT

It's very frustrating even on small-scale things that don't hurt people.

Also like. Astarion would not be getting two books and all the merch and whatever the fuck if fandom had not blown up around him. If fandom had reacted the same way to Wyll, do you think Larian would have kept neglecting him? Again, don’t want to absolve creators—especially corporate ones—of responsibility here.

having thought about it this is a generationally anti-consumer announcement that will have a profoundly detrimental impact on consumers and retail markets. this will price out new consumers even more than a $600 PS5 and $80 games will. this will make games less accessible and more nickel-and-dimed. this will make games impossible to share irl without giving your console up, and will stop institutions like libraries from being able to loan copies of modern games. and most importantly, it will be for a minimal profit, as most of the sales in video games are already digital.
