People are just tired of the anti-consumer bullshit and it shows. I'm glad Larian are thinking ahead instead of grabbing the cash now and running unlike most modern day triple A developers.

Really shows that they care for the games that they make and the audience they've amassed.

Hopefully this helps kill MTX, lootboxes and Battlepasses.

    I hate MTX, lootboxes, and battle passes, but I cannot imagine that they'll go away unless it's to replace them with something even worse.

    Those "games" on Nintendo Switch that are just a license to access a cloud streaming version of the title is, in my opinion, a much worse issue than MTX.

    In fact, one of them was taken offline - the Switch is still active, which means there are people who paid full price for a singleplayer game and it no longer exists.
