Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.

Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?

But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor! soypoint-2

Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?

Normalization or something.

I remember when dlc used to HUGE addition to the games (even then there were criticized), and not just stuff cut out from the actual game and sold as day 1 dlc.

we were right to be mad at the time

Horse armour was only like $3 and ppl got mad.

I guess it proves simply complaining about it does nothing because the market will just do what it wants.

I'm starting to think that this whole "free market" thing doesn't actually solve consumer's problems and only makes them worse... thonk
