these days, devs put all their effort into making a game profitable, and more profitable each time. the effort put into making a game good and fun to play, only goes as far as they need to in order to get people to buy the game and then pay for extras
BG3 is great fun, and is being praised for doing the opposite of this. It turns out a game can be really well-crafted, hit all the marks for fans, lack any add-on content, and still sell a lot of copies.

Hopefully we see a shift in this predatory behavior from Gaming (aka Investment) companies
