Looks like I have a date to have my new computer built. Hope the loan goes through for that video card.

Too technically advanced for a Switch release?

it is apparently too technically advanced for an XBox Series S release lol, let alone a PS4 and Xbox One release, let alone a Switch release XD

Even Divinity Original Sin 2 had to lose a big feature (couch co-op, the same feature that is the issue with BG3 on Xbox Series S) to even work on Switch, and that was a last gen game.
