So he is practically blackmailining - if you want to see BG3, buy this.
Well, I'm not buying. Sorry.
Don't worry I've got you covered I'm buying at least two copies.
Doesn't sound like blackmail at all. That's the nature of business, obviously it needs to be a success and they need to make enough money to fund a BG3. He was asked what it would take for that to happen and gave a number. Doesn't seem like an outrageous number either.
Also it doesn't guarantee a BG3 just that it would be taking in to consideration for development. According to the article anyway.
