Following Larian’s shock decision to move on from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons, some fans have pointed the finger at Wizards of the Coast — but, according to Swen Vincke, the Hasbro-owned company is not to blame.

“Reading the reddit threads, I would like to clear up something,” Vincke said. “WOTC is not to blame for us taking a different direction. On the contrary, they really did their best and have been a great licensor for us, letting us do our thing. This is because it’s what’s best for Larian.”

Why are people so surprised?

There is money to be made, and we’re not used to seeing cashcows beeing left alone

Oh, never you fear pal, I’m certain that Hasbro has no intention of leaving the cashcow alone. Larian might be moving on to other things, but those ghouls certainly aren’t.

Whatever Larian touches turns to gold, at least for now. Divinity 2 was so insanely good. Div 1 is pretty good, according to friends. Haven’t finished it yet.
