The writing was kind of on the wall for Avowed when they announced they were dumping it after the holidays.
I was like "Oh, like Forspoken? Good luck!"
100%, had they spent the money on the game that they wasted on marketing they may have released something good.
Instead they prefer to feed a bunch of sock puppets on reddit and here to show up every time one of the MS studios games are mentioned. The cope is real. I can't believe that Avowed cost as much as BG3 to make, it's insane the mammoth gap between the quality of both games in every aspect. And BG3 was sold on PC for 10€ less than Avowed on launch...
Plus $95 for a "physical edition" with no disc. :(
I was willing to buy the game... for $60. But not a digital code. I get that they want to push people to Gamepass, but $60 is 3 months and at the end I actually own nothing?
