Thanks for watching. Let me know what you think about the pushback -Destin
Well said
First honest video from ign in a while
Hear hear! Brilliant vid!
Finally IGN has a journalist who is SPOT ON!
One of them wrote that if this becomes the norm, some creators can not continue the work "we love". They meant it as a Threat. For me this is another Win.
BG3 should raise standards. Not for RPGs in general, for AAA Games.
Wow…what a f*cking video. Hats off to you Destin.
Seems ign is evolving too, still making the review for bg3 until they fully complete the game even though a lot of reviewers pushed out their initial reviews did not expect that from ign
Gigachad ign video
This game is Great and noone can tell me different.
If game developers and publishers are going to charge us 70-100 bucks for a game, it damn well should be at the quality of Baldurs Gate 3 (which is also less money than that!). Time for the games industry to tighten it up. They have been getting away with buggy, expensive and incomplete games at extortionate prices for years. Especially on console.
BG3 was in early access for almost 3 years.
You would expect release version to be as smooth as possible.
IGN: We agree with the pushback against these bad practices. Also IGN: This game with bad practices is a 9/10
Elden Ring also was falling apart at PC at launch. And it took them over a month to fix it.
Remnant 2 for £40 absolutely great game no frills attached… that's what people want.
The devs that say they cant do that are just saying they dont want to do that
"and bears" IYKYK
As long as people keep buying unfinished micro transaction driven games…most AAA devs will have no real incentive to fix the issue
From a business standpoint, why stop if it continues to generate revenue from casuals that don’t know any better or care to know. That’s the devs’ target market in my opinion
Content like this is why ign became so successful, if you can remember… ALOT more of this kind of reporting and gamers supporting games like Baldur's Gate 3 will help us take back control of the industry. I'm willing to bet devs enjoy working on passion projects for gamers more than they do cash grabs for corporate executives.

Fantastic video!
And Bears ofc🐻
freaking STANDING OVATION and 20 minutes applause
👍
Well said.
yes
when did IGN become based?
Message to AAA studios… "git gud, scrub".
one of the best ways to help with this trend is to come up with a new definition for MTx games. For example: diablo 4 , call of duty would be called AAA MTx, while baldur's gate 3 would just be called AAA.
Devs actually being held to decent standards especially AAA devs??? THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS, THE POOR SHAREHOLDERS.
Really liked this video. Let's all stand up to the white collar money hoarders looking to increase stock prices over art quality, and simply not buy unfinished games or games filled with microtransactions.
“OH NO WE HAVE TO RELEASE FULLY FINISHED GAMES”
One of the best ign videos of all time
This also disproves the whole "don't blame the devs, it's just the greedy CEOs forcing them to do it" narrative. They're all it it together trying to squeeze the most money out of gamers while putting in minimum effort.
This is a 👨🍳👌
DAMN BRO!
This is journalism.
the diablo patch was so bad that the same people makeing fun of me for playing path of exile were asking me for tips on the game because it looked more inviting
developers need to learn. gamers are sick and tired of spending hard earned money a broken mess of a game.
AAA companies: yeh thats not possible.
Larian: hold up!
AAA companies: intimidation check (failed).
finally ign are talking about this.
wow nicely said! didnt expect this from IGN "claps"
