Considering there were rumored to be several games in the pipeline that all got scrapped at the beginning of last year, I think you’re right. Dark Alliance didn’t do great so I’m sure the execs freaked out.

Hopefully you’re right about the message they received.

I am shocked to hear that an unfinished game didn’t do great

  What are you talking about? Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance was a whole ass game. It got kind of shitty reviews (currently sitting at 50% on Steam, 4/10 on IGN, 53% on metacritic).

    Releasing a game with obvious bugs is releasing an unfinished game in my books

    I get that you believe that and it’s a cute hill to die on, but that does not change the fact that a D&D video game did poorly and subsequently Hasbro shit canned a bunch of stuff. Larian got a pass because their shit was already in early access.
