The release of Baldur's Gate 3 is honestly something of a miracle and it's sad that that's the state of the world right now.
Larian Studios went completely against the whole gaming industry meta by releasing a finished, incredibly feature-rich game ahead of the designated schedule, without any help from a major publisher, trusting their community as well as their own ability to create a fun and lasting experience to not only release the game without any DRM, but also to not restrict online play to purchased copies only.
Insane effort was put into the development and no corners were cut as far as I could see.
That takes some significant balls, something companies that cater to their investors rather than their customers no longer have.

My friend Alixesque recently got hit with a 4-digit medical bill and is raising money to help cover her expenses, I can only signal boost it, but if you could do the same or have some spare cash to chip in it'd be very much appreciated!
"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
With @ExpiredPopsicle on my shoulder, my new png tuber is ready, being my authentic giantess self. I'll have variants for other games or activities, but being more my authentic self. I like giants and I know people are more comfortable around ogres and oni and stuff, but I like giants most.
Felt like sharing some insects. :D
