Baldur's Gate 3 has rapidly ascended the Steam sale charts after a Larian livestream showed a sexual tryst between a vampire and a Druid in bear form.

For the week ending Tuesday, July 4, Baldur's Gate 3 sat at number 25 on the Steam best-seller chart. Now, after the Panel from Hell showcase, Baldur's Gate 3 has jumped right up to number seven, just above Red Dead Redemption 2 and one beneath Elden Ring.

Bioware: * has same sex romances in recent games *

Larian: Hold my bearbeer.

Not surprised, any game that has audacity to do something that weird is automatically interesting.

Truly uncubventional marketing.

The bear fuckers have spoken ... with their wallets!

Bit of a reach saying it's JUST from that. Probably more due to all the hype, release date coming forward, free upgrade to deluxe with pre-order, etc.

And previews dropping that praise the game sky high including Larian's panel from hell..

But for sure since it's been making rounds in media for the bear sex, I guess it reminds peoples this game is coming in very soon.

"Sales go up after many articles written about game."

You don't say?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I wonder how Lokaum D+ is handling this news. Hope you feel better soon.

you guys are sick

 

[Facism]

The best thing about it is that you don't need a tissue or towel and can just wipe off on the fur

 

[Kamina]

Fucking Furries

Memes bring extra attention, of course, but if the game didn't have a lot more to offer...you wouldn't get so many pre-orders.

Come for the bear (whether it's out of comedy, disgust or whatever), stay for the game.

 

[Barakov]

I'm just going to blame Reddit for this.

 

[Garnox]

I read it as "bare sex scene" thinking it was gonna be some gratuitous full contact nudity.

Imagine my surprise when I entered the thread to see a dude and a bear lusting for one another.

 

[Tomi]

Sales exploded!

 

[struggler_guts]

free upgrade to deluxe with pre-order, etc.

Wait what?

 

[Meicyn]

Honey, it gives me paws to think how unbearable the industry has becum. Larian doesn't have the koalafications to develop a sequel to such a prestigious game series, being such a polar opposite to Bioware. With all this depravity, there is sure to be pandamonium.

Oh be prepared, Reddit will soon show their real colors once they realize a sexy lady can be under the bear too.

 

[dreamstation]

Wait what?

Was mentioned months ago.

Larian confirms Baldur's Gate 3 early access owners get Digital Deluxe Edition upgrade free

Let's just call it Bears Gate instead

 

[GymWolf]

Clickbait title, they showed way more tham the sex scene that was like a 4 min fragment.

Hearing that the game is now an immersive sims was more hype than any bear sex scene.

[amigastar]

I bought it also, but not because of the bear scene. I just couldn't wait anymore, lol.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Ewww

not the bear fucking

DnD rules compared to divinity combat

 

[Rentahamster]

New meaning to the phrase "going bearback"

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[Skifi28]

I'm offended by this, can't bear it.

 

[thief183]

Well, if you tried the game you know that it totally deserves it, it is going to be GOAT

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Hilarious although I do feel a bit of sadness that this shit game uses the Baldur's Gate name. But time moves on and getting older is about seeing everything you love destroyed.

I take it that you have paid full price for Early Access? You have played it right? Right?

This game is going to be amazing and it deserves the Baldurs Gate name.

And here I am only hoping for a cameo of Jaheira or Minsc.

They're both confirmed companions in the game

Roll a stealth check to wipe without the bear noticing.

Great to hear, I've been on a media blackout for this game and didn't bother with the early access.

Shit game?

Just saying if you get the game in early access, you get a free deluxe upgrade. Might be worth it if you're certain to play it close to release.
