Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" - eviltoast

We just want good complete micro transactionless games

Edit: that are also well optimized

    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). Published June 21, 2021.

        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.
