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.

You simply listed exceptions, thus proving the rule stated by @whatisallthis

How many exceptions do you need before it no longer being an exception, 50%?

But you listed less than 1 percent?

Sorry for not combing through every major release since tetris and making a perfectly objective list of every good game of which most them I've never even seen gameplay of.

Why so salty bro? Maybe go outside, meet some people. That usually helps me when I´m grumpy ...

Salty? I listed a bunch of games that are clearly made by passionate developers and have been part of defining of defining the space in recent history. You are the one leaving a snarky comment that I listed less than 1 percent of games as if that proves anything.

We probably just did not understand each other well. Can we just agree to disagree and move on? I respect you and your opinion, have a nice day!
