You’d think that selling an early access release at full price would put people off. Normally, you’d be right. But not for Baldur’s Gate 3, the much anticipated sequel having sold over 1 million copies in it’s first week on Steam alone. This according to SteamSpy, who confirm that despite the £49.99 price tag, the partial release from developer Larian Studios has already surpassed this monumental target.

Good job, now work on getting this game on the next gen consoles and get some more sales. Good luck
Go CRPGs, GO!
Larian, Obsidian, Archetype, BioWare(no, not you), inXile ... lead the Renaissance
