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.
