Hasbro's Q3 digital gaming revenues surge thanks to Baldur's Gate 3's incredible success on console and PC, BG3 helped make over $133 million for Hasbro.
With BG3 Larian is becoming a recognized name in the mainstream. If Hasbro is going to try and fuck them over they will just forgo the D&D IP and use their own IP or another RPG of another company for their next game. And still see success. And I bet the vast majority of BG3 player don’t know anything of D&D anyway.
Luckily that is the case. I just hope that they don’t think that they need more control for some future project to squeeze out even more money.
It wouldn’t be control over Larian. They constantly express that they are self published and self owned, it’s something they’re proud of.
That said, money talks.
