  • Sure, they like money. Who doesn’t? But you have to admit there’s a big difference between what Larian gave us for $60 with Baldur’s Gate, and shit like $65 mounts in Diablo and $80 melee weapons in CoD and the various other chicanery ActiBlizz and other truly greedy companies have been pulling.

    As such, in addition to liking money, I would argue the people at Larian genuinely care about making a good game that people enjoy. Cuz if it was ONLY about the money, they would’ve made a much different game. I imagine it helps not being a publicly traded company.











  • “literally”

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    However, the book DOES have “literary importance, as determined by it winning the National Book Award, winning the Kirkus Prize, and being a Pulitzer finalist.

    Though I notice elsewhere in the thread you refer to those as “literature prices” multiple times, and would like to point out that they are, in fact, “prizes”. Prices are the cost of things you buy at the store. Prizes are awarded for achievement in a given field.

    As such, I do not believe you are fit to be the arbiter of what gets to be taught in English class. It is clear you could use a few lessons on the subject yourself, and besides, before espousing that a book should only be taught in one type of classroom (Social Studies) and not another (English), a person should probably read said book. You clearly haven’t.
