    When you’ve been in ‘beta’ for several years, is this even news? They seem to just try to use it as a tactic for free sales bumps when needed.

      I mean the end of beta an entering full release is pretty noteworthy. Especially because there is a lot of content they have been working on over the years which is being held back for the end (most notably the story). After that Coffee Stain will either move towards making something new or creating some kind of expansion for the game.

        It can be noteworthy, and I agree a story is a carrot that might be worth another go.

        Thanks for explaining!

      Well baldurs gate 3 was in beta early access for 3 years and it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece.

      Your anger is misplaced.

      Gamea would be better across the board if the developers and publishers all worked with players and tested the games properly.
