Considering that Vincke (or another person from Larian) has stated that everyone from WotC they worked with has now been laid off despite the huge success of BG3, I'm glad Larian are focusing on their own IP instead of bringing in money for WotC/Hasbro.

I mean considering the last mainstream headline I remember about WotC is them sending the Pinkertons to chase after a random streamer because they fucked up and sent him unrevealed cards for MtG, I think they are a really bad company and I pray for their downfall, so someone else picks up the IP and runs with it.

I mean the layoffs are bad as well but there's a non-exhaustive list of reasons to not like WotC and to not be associated with them.

My bet is that either Disney or EA would pick it up

Yesh. That's ugly.
