Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year agoOk, so looking into it, WOTC owns the D&D license, which Larian Games had to licence. So, yes it indirectly supports WOTC. They don’t own a stake in the game studio, and therefore aren’t directly getting revenue from this games sales. They have already received the licencing fees they would be getting for this game. It does however help WOTC since they aren’t developing their own 6th edition games currently and keeps D&D relevant so in that way it does support them.
Personally I would find that a morally grey area, and will pirate the game to see if I will buy it on sale.

Be careful, at least one version has a bitcoin miner. Look for fitgirl or rune.

The reason is called money

What he means is that anyone can get clean files on GOG and then distribute those I think. No DRM or anything to clean up, so no need to rely on anyone to repackage it etc.
