Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’
MimicJar@lemmy.world 1 day agoRe D&D,
It’s because Hasbro gutted the D&D division and burned their goodwill with Larian. pcgamer.com/theres-almost-nobody-left-ceo-of-bald…
Hasbro could have done nothing and made a bunch of money, but they chose temporary short term gains. Baldur’s Gate 4 will arrive far sooner than you think, and it will be terrible.

WTF. That’s awful, and also totally baffling. “This single game is responsible for a huge chunk of revenue and introducting countless people to D&D; let’s lay off its staff and leadership.”
What do you mean by this? An outsourced spinoff is already in the works?

Nothing has been announced as far as Baldur’s Gate 4 goes yet. It looks like Hasbro is being a little bit smart and are going to try and make (“make”) a handful of other smaller games, like the recent Warlock game announcement.
But at some point Baldur’s Gate 4 will be announced, but Hasbro isn’t going to be willing to invest properly into it in order to make a good game.

That’s a very… abstract trailer.
Yeah, I’m suspicious too.
