Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" (www.gamesradar.com)

Basically my metric for finding a game to play lately is "how much did they spend on marketing?" My favorite games I've played in the last 5 years were Project Wingman, Hi-Fi Rush, Atlas Fallen, Eternal Strands, The Finals, and now Clair Obscur. The first time I'd heard of any of them was when I was downloading them.

Crazy how good a video game can be when it's made entirely by people who like video games

That said, there are some games that had an advertising budget that I liked. Sekiro, Nier Automata, Baldur's Gate. The common denominator being a lack of monetization. If you're selling the game, don't sell cosmetics.
