Hello!

I thought this was pretty interesting. During launch weekend, there was a total of 1,200 years of BG3 played. Scratch was petted 750,000 times (good job, lads!). There was a total of 88 years spent in character creation. Thought this one would have been higher.

There are other neat stats, too. I think it's worth a look.

And it reached a new Peak Player record this weekend:

Yeah - It's insane. It just shows how hungry people where for a complete game, without micro (or macro) transactions, payed-for loot boxes, season passes and intrusive DRM (like Denuvo). A game that has also a low bug count at launch, is complete, and does not have a day 1 expensive DLC.

I hope this sends a clear signal to other developers, but if I am realistic it won't. They already painted the game as a "anomaly" that should not set the bar for other developers.

It's doublful as all you have to do is look at the things different devs are saying on twitter about how this game shouldn't be viewed as the new standard and other such nonsense.
