  Larian got especially fucked by this. They made BG3 and then Hasbro laid off pretty much everyone they worked with at WotC. Market response layoffs are a bullshit practice that needs to be called out more often.

    Their fault for prioritizing making a finished and enjoyable cohesive project that plays to the strenghts of what fans want from a Table Top RPG over chasing the latest trends, like battle passes and microtransactions /s

  I sure hope so since they seem to be one of the few companies who gives a shit about the workers in the industry. You are on the work reform community after all.
