I love this so much. Thank you Larian for setting a shining example in this horrible industry.

Hoping the success of games like BG3 and Battlebit opens the possibility of some return to sane monetization

If FS follows their past games, Armored Core 6 won't have MTX either. Maybe a DLC, but I'm somewhat ok with expansions costing money as long as it brings actual content to the game.

I don't remember any FS games having MTX, but I could be wrong.
