Blizzard has opened up about the impact Overwatch 2 "review bombers" have had on the team, acknowledging that the "dissatisfaction" stems from "the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 [...] that Blizzard ultimately couldn't deliver".

In a statement posted to the game's official website, Aaron Keller said that while being review bombed "isn't a fun experience", the plan was to "move forward" by "adding to and improving Overwatch 2".

I wish more people realized the same and stopped buying shitty games, while rewarding the good ones.

I grew up during the "old times", I remember how it was so I'm quite wary of new games, but I think a lot of gamers are much younger than me and when shitty predatory practices is all you know, it's probably difficult to believe something different can exist.

I didn't want to buy BG3 at first because I probably won't be able to play it, no doubt it's a masterpiece but I can't stand isometric view, I don't like turn-based combat and click-to-move, but when I saw how AAA devs reacted to Larian integrity, I bought it anyway and I will at least try, hoping someone will develop a mod to make controls more "bearable" for players like me.

Even if they don't, I firmly believe it's money well spent, AAA devs are still attacking Larian for petty reasons, it means what they're doing is extremely good for the players, they deserve to be supported by all means, let the current "AAA practices" rot.

EDIT: in case someone else is interested, I found modders did it! Hope they work on Linux:

using a controller with BG3 actually feels really good. you can also adjust the zoom so you are more in a third person view as opposed to isometric (nearly over the shoulder camera). you can also play the game real-time with pause, which may or may not help push you along as you say you don't necessarily jive with turn-based.

i hope these things help you get into BG3. i personally LOVE isometric view and turn-based tactics but even if these things don't appeal to you, the game itself is such a breath of fresh air that i do not see myself putting it down for a long, long time.

have fun!!

Thank you so much for the tips! I'll definitely try them, as soon as I finish downloading the game :D
