BG3 kept selling and selling even when there was no official mod support, and there's been no noticeable uptick in sales related to mods being added nor to the "campaigns" you talk about. Nor could there be re: campaigns, because none of them actually exist! You're literally spreading misinformation here, and people might want to think about whether that's happened before.Before you rush to to try and refute this, I suggest you do some basic research. There are quite a few PLANNED mod campaigns for BG3, but none of them are actually finished. Most of the ones you can even download (and there are very few) are bare-bones levels with little or no combat, just a map and some NPCs.BG3 kept selling very well for a very long time because it's very good. There's no evidence to support your claim here, let alone in way you've made, and your claim contains an actual falsehood that I'm guessing you picked up from skim-reading an article, and not actually fact-checking that article.An article like this:[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.vg247.com/baldurs-gate-3-custom-campaign-mod-path-to-menzoberranzan-demo-soon[/URL]Soon. Will. May. Demo. Will. Soon. Etc. QUALIFIERS. Read the QUALIFIERS. Don't just assume the dumb clickbait headline is true. Because "soon" and "may" and so on are weasel words. This campaign might never come out - in fact historically that's very likely. The most likely scenario here is that the "demo" of the campaign comes out, then the people making the campaign struggle and people leave because it's not actual job, and people have artistic differences, and then it never gets finished.So basically here you've made a load of unsupported claims, all of which have strong countervailing evidence, one of which is definitely and conclusively wrong, and you're saying because you believe them to be true, they're facts.They aren't facts. You then say, hilariously:The preponderance of evidence actually suggests the opposite. That companies who rely solely or primarily on pleasing "hardcore fans" tend to devalue and then dead-end their IP unless the IP is extremely niche (and perhaps fetish-adjacent).</blockquote>
