I bought BG3 just because it's a AAA-quality game with no microtransactions, no battle passes, no bullshit, no pay-to-win monetization of any kind. What you buy is what you get, just like how video games generally were up until about ~10 years ago.

There is stinky game launcher. It might not waste my money, but it definitely wastes my time

You can add `--skip-launcher` to the steam launch options.
