If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

I think hogwarts sold so well because of the JK backlash. Brought a lot of attention to the game. It was a good game though. Baldurs is getting attention because of how good it is. And treating your customers with respect goes a long way. I just bought DOS 1 & 2 because of how much I'm enjoying BG3 and wanted to vote with my wallet. Plus I hear they're also really good.
