Controversial Steam Game Delisted After 10 Years

After a staggering 10 years in early access, a controversial Steam game from Fable creator Peter Molyneux is delisted.

Those that have yet to play Baldur's Gate 3 for themselves may want to take advantage of the game's current 10% discount. In fact, it seems many Steam users are jumping on the opportunity to buy Baldur's Gate 3 for $53.99 instead of the usual $59.99 asking price, as the game has rocketed back to the top of Steam's list of best-selling games. As of December 23, Baldur's Gate 3 is currently Steam's top-seller, with the Steam Deck handheld right behind it followed by Lethal Company, Cyberpunk 2077, Counter-Strike 2, Elden Ring, Call of Duty, Ready or Not, War Thunder, and Hogwarts Legacy.

While it's readily available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, much of Baldur's Gate 3's success has come from Steam. Baldur's Gate 3 was one of the most popular Steam games all year, amassing impressive concurrent player counts. A game that enjoyed similar concurrent player count success in 2023 is Hogwarts Legacy, which also finds itself back in the Steam's top 10 best-selling games. However, it should be noted that Hogwarts Legacy's discount is much steeper than Baldur's Gate 3, with those interested in the open world Harry Potter action RPG able to get it for a whopping 50% off for a limited time.
