How much money would Larian even get? WotC owns the IP and licensed it to Larian for BG3.

Agree. Part of why they've made such great stuff is that they're independent and self-publishing. There's nobody to rush them to market, and nobody outside the organization meddling in development. If Netflix (or some other company) gets its claws into them, I'd expect to see a huge drop in quality in favor of more focus-grouped bazinga bullshit.

Otoh Larian isn't public, yet. As long as the company doesn't end up on soulless cunts in suits' hands, I'd bet on Larian to make a good game.

Top guy looks like a big nerd too, that's a good sign.
