          I’m fairly certain they’re further incentivized to put out a shit product because the incessant patches they have to quickly back to back deters pirates. Not that it’s a reason to do that, but it’s another reason to not give a shit about trying to fix the reason that cause them to put out unfinished games.

              I was writing up an edit defending BG3 as an exception that proves the rule and it got deleted when the page refreshed, lol.

              I had one bug on the base version, near the end, and it corrupted my save file, but I had some backups and all was good. The year of early access probably helped with bug testing.

        Pirated releases get updates but not as frequently, and it can be a pain since you have to get seeders to migrate to a new torrent so usually you wait for a bunch of updates to build up and then do them all at once.

        The current top version of BG3 on 1337x is “Hotfix 1”, so its been updated at least once since the full release.
