Larian Studios Denounces Scalpers as Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Edition Resells for $3,000
The limited edition, originally priced at $270, has become a target for resellers, prompting criticism from the game's publishing director.
- Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Douse, publicly criticized scalpers reselling the Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Edition at inflated prices.
- The Collector's Edition, initially sold for $270, is now being listed for up to $3,000 on platforms like eBay.
- Douse expressed disappointment, stating the edition was meant to bring joy, not profit, and lamented the sadness caused to genuine fans.
- The scarcity of the Collector's Edition has created a lucrative market for scalpers, similar to other gaming products like the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle.
- Fans and industry figures have called for measures to combat scalping, but solutions remain elusive beyond public condemnation.
