Pfffffff.... Hasbro has a great reputation for being greedy as fuck, and completely deaf blind and dumb to what fans love and enjoy about established IPs. So I'm sure whatever travesty they release will be just great 👍
When they say "raise the bar" they just want to make a hornier dating sim.
No, whether say "raise the bar" they mean "increase the price."
Buy these new subclasses for just 3,99 each, or 10 bucks for the bundle with all of them! This is a limited time offer, visit the Baldurian shop to grab yours fast!
Ahh, Dungeons and Dragons: Online, my beloved

Jokes aside, what they literally mean is "make it on a budget expect a giant revenue since people want more". And after it flops, they'll moan and whine about how customers are ruining the industry by not knowing what they want and demanding something they wont buy.
TBH that would sell well.
I’d probably buy it. I have no shame.
but we have two and a half studios for that
@[email protected] is right....I'd buy that!
The memes should be fun tho
Fair dues
Yeah Hasbro will just dumb it down and ruin it
"raise the bar" is big Amazon language. Maybe a bunch of ex Amazon folks in Hasbro now.
🤮

I've tried to play baldur's gate 3 a few times already and every time I felt like it was a fantastical game but I always ended up not playing it for long. After the last time I started wondering why that happened and reached the conclusion that it was the D&D universe that put me off. Not necessarily because it was bad but because I knew nothing about it and the game didn't try to introduce me to it either.
So I read your comment on Hasbro as "want to make another great game but using only the bad parts of the last one"
Even though Larian did a great job modernizing pieces, D&D 5E is just really crunchy and outdated, imo. Larian's own Divinity Original Sin 2 had a largely better combat, magic, and armor system, even if it is a slightly older title now.
Physical and magic armor, spell cooldowns (prevents spell spam and constant short and long rests), advanced elemental and cursed surfaces, and diversified healing and combat magic make characters more flexible.
5e's rest system is good for taking care of (what was) useless food in inventory, moves the story along, and provides good places for more natural relationships. D&Ds lack of flexible healing and spell slots means a lot of annoying enemy encounters, however.
I'm on my second playthrough of both titles right now. BG3's story is awesome. :)
