They probably should have thought longer about the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 before burning their bridge with Larian.
It wasn’t their IP that made it succeed, it was the quality of the developer. D&D as a brand is worthless if they just sell it to the highest bidder and don’t give a damn about quality.
Tbf Divinity: Original Sin 2 did not come anywhere near BG3 levels of popularity. The difference between those can really only be attributed to the value of brand recognition.
On the bright side I would much rather see a Divinity Original Sin 3 than a Baldur’s Gate 4 from Larian. Now they are free to do their own thing again.

I’m sure we can expect the same quality as that Drizzt game that came out a couple years ago.
You mean the new Dark Alliance game? I prefer the old 2004 one anyway.
Huh? TIL Monopoly Go exists.
Apparently it’s super successful. Has made $3 billion within a year.
Wtf? Who even plays monopoly? Is this some wild money laundering scheme?
It’s only the game Monopoly in that it shares the same name and uses a Monopoly board… It’s a completely different game, and it sucks.
So there’s another thing they share
It seems incredibly dumb. Like playing slots
It’s ridiculously popular. I have a half dozen coworkers who are obsessed with it.
