Baldur's Gate 3 Class Action Lawsuit

Dear Larian and Microsoft,

I hope this message finds you well. As an avid player of Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox, I feel compelled to bring a matter of great concern to your attention. The numerous issues I have encountered while playing your game have left me deeply disheartened and seeking justice for the violation of my constitutional rights.

Over time, it has become increasingly distressing to experience glitch after glitch, resulting in significant losses of saved gameplay. The most recent incident is particularly egregious, as I lost an astonishing 50 hours of progress directly on the Larian servers themselves. This loss represents not only an extensive investment of time and effort but also a direct infringement upon my right to property and enjoyment of the game.

Despite implementing the recommended workaround by reloading the game and signing into the Larian servers to activate cross-saves, all recent saves mysteriously vanished. Hours upon hours of progress, which I hold dear, were obliterated, impacting not only my gaming experience but also profoundly disrupting my personal life. It is essential to emphasize the emotional distress and unforeseen consequences caused by these recurring issues.

I believe that both Larian Studios and Microsoft bear responsibility for this unfortunate situation. Microsoft's alleged resolution attempts, as indicated by their supposed fix in a recent update, have proven insufficient. These deficiencies have contributed to issues where the game fails to start at all, exacerbating the frustration and sense of betrayal felt by devoted gamers.

If more individuals within the gaming community possessed the legal knowledge I have gained through my work, companies like yours would be held accountable for their negligent game releases and questionable financial practices. I am now exploring the possibility of organizing a class-action lawsuit to establish a precedent in the gaming industry, ensuring that such a disregard for consumer rights is never allowed to harm fellow gamers again. Monetary compensation alone is not enough; we seek a resolution that addresses the unfinished state of the game and compensates for the disturbing impact it has had on our lives.

The unfinished aspect of Baldur's Gate 3's gameplay has left us with deep disappointment and lingering stress, adversely affecting our ability to find solace and relaxation in video games, which previously served as our refuge. The desire to play the game remains strong, but it is now accompanied by anger and frustration, preventing us from experiencing the anticipated enjoyment. This situation hampers not only my ability to play this specific game but also diminishes my overall gaming experience, often causing distress even when attempting to play other titles.

The actions of Larian Studios and Microsoft, in failing to adequately test and assess their products before releasing them to consumers, have caused irreparable damage. It is my sincere hope that you take these concerns seriously and address them promptly and satisfactorily. Our primary objective is not simply to seek reimbursement but also to acquire a game that can be wholly enjoyed, free from disruptions and unfinished aspects. The negative impact on our lives and the breach of our constitutional rights demand urgency in finding a resolution.

I look forward to receiving a response from you and hope that we can find a mutually agreeable solution to rectify these ongoing challenges. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
