Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur's Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.

I just couldn't stop buying the bg3 season passes, fomo-exclusive character skins and consumable magic item bundles to feed the one companion whose name escapes me atm.

I've got so many Golden Keys for opening Ultra-Elite chests in BG3, but it won't give me the exclusive Golden Helm of Baldur with the alternate mod slot unless I upgrade my golden Keys with exclusive in-game currency.

is a conversation I've never heard around BG3.
