Before we crown IGN’s Best Game of 2023, let’s first acknowledge what an amazing year it has been for game releases. There were great games almost every month, and every nominee — from Cocoon to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 — is certainly someone’s personal game of the year. But ultimately this year was defined by a presumed front-runner, and the surprising challengers for the throne.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is IGN’s game of the year, with Baldur’s Gate 3 as the close second.

After the layoffs, it’s clear that the studio doesn’t care about their devs or the industry, for that alone Baldur’s Gate doesn’t deserve the win.

Larian didn’t lay anyone off. Hasbro, a completely different company, laid people who worked on DnD and MTG off at WotC.

What layoffs? If you’re refering to the posts earlier today: The layoffs happened at Hasbro and Larian was only commenting on it because they worked with them. Larian itself had no layoffs I know of.

It wasn’t the studio that laided people off.
