There were comments in this thread referring to wishing other games were as “devoid of bugs”, but going through the thread again, most people are talking about the lack of micro transactions. https://kbin.social/m/games@lemmy.world/t/347662/Noooooo-you-can-t-make-a-microtransactions-free-game-and-finished
Edit: I read further into the thread and learned that BG3 actually has micro transactions (but people are kind enough to explain how these micro transactions don’t count somehow.)
For even the buggiest of games, there will always be a subset of day 1 purchasers who buy the game and play it for hours and truly don’t experience any bugs out of sheer luck.
Not remotely microtransactions at all. The purchase you’re referring to is the deluxe edition upgrade, which came free to anyone who played the game during the beta, and costs $10 USD for:
The Soundtrack
An Artbook
An ingame dice skin
Some completely cosmetic items that are outclassed by literally every other thing in the game.
Honestly? To call this a microtransaction is making a pretty big and unjustified claim. This is a bonus to chuck the devs a little extra money for the soundtrack and artbook. The additional stuff is moreso a bonus for purchasing the first two. By comparison, CoD charges $18USD for a gun skin.

No it doesn’t. There was a preorder bonus that was free if you preordered. If you didn’t, and you want the art and music, then it’s $10.

I’ve read your other comments. There aren’t microtransactions from what I can see, and you’re just here to be a contrarian. It isn’t working.
