Well, I had already bought BG3 in Early Access before the OGL debacle, and before Hasbro (WotC's parent company) sent the Pinkertons to intimidate some small time Youtuber into giving back some unreleased Magic: the Gathering cards that he had been erroneously sold early by a distributor. So I couldn't very well boycott it when I had already purchased it and played like 30 hours of it.
I'm still not buying new D&D books or MtG cards.
You don't need to justify your purchasing decision to me. I am not even calling for a boycott of the game. I know people at Larian and I wish them all the success they can get.
I am just surprised that this whole thing seems to be completely absent from the larger discussion about this game. I would have assumed, that it would have been at least a footnote.
