I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

the new Divinity trailer was great, but it is wild what people will get upset about in games, content-wise, and then be completely fine/enthusiastic about Wicker Man x Event Horizon.
