Absolutely correct imo. Although bg looks great, the company behind it is also not known for their decency iirc.

Maybe consider sailing the high seas my friend.

Edit: I am not talking about Larian studios but the IP holder, Wizards of the Coast. They’re know for their less than stellar trackrecord.

Please, do tell how they're an indecent company.

Ok, I misphrased it. The company behind the lore ancestor (D&D) is who I‘m talking about: Wizards of the Coast.

Here‘s an explanation why they suck: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-dd-world-is-on-fire-right-now-and-wizards-of-the-coast-can-only-blame-itself/1100-6510643/

Yeah, we know WotC suck, but Larian is behind the game and they paid for a license to use the system and lore.

So why should we be pirating from Larian? Because they bought a license for a product?

Just read my comment. I think 80 bucks is too much same as op and the fact that wotc is part of this fits perfectly with the too high price.

Also, please show proof that larian paid a one time fee for the license when you claim stuff like this.
