Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring are the last 2 AAA games I bought close to launch for full price. Other than that, I picked up Hades 2 in early access. The rest of my library is all stuff that I bought on sale.
I do have Monster Hunter and Avowed on my wishlist but I think I'm going to be patient. If I do pull the trigger, it would probably be for Avowed because I want more Obsidian games. On a related note Grounded is $20 on Steam right now so I stopped that up even though I beat it back when I had Game Pass.
BG3 isn't an AAA title. Larian is an indie studio.
Based on the size of the company and the budget for the game I'd at least call it a AA game. My real point is I paid full price for it and have absolutely no regrets.
Huh, I thought of them as AA. I get indie means independent which they are, but they're a studio with multiple successful releases even before bg3.
