    It’s not a mistake when one of the upper management guys was ranting about it before it happened…

      Buy the Divinity games instead. Rewards Larian, doesn’t give WOTC/Hasbro shit, and enables the studio to continue to work of stuff they find exciting, rather than becoming chief foremen of the IP mines, along with all of Activision’s support studios who do naught but crank out CoD skins nowadays (RIP Raven).

      If I remember right, Larian has pretty definitively said they want nothing to do with DnD or BG3 moving forward, to the point that they cancelled DLC plans.

          Divinity 2 game out in 2017 but it has a DM mode to carry out dnd campaigns and an SDK to make full game mods if you’re into that

    Their decisions seem to conveniently become ‘mistakes’ whenever there’s public backlash…

    “Mistaken” yeah OK it got as far as actioned. Maybe the legal department at WOTC need some training not like D&D has been doing well with its fan base recently

      Is this the same legal team that sent Pinkertons to some M:TG fan, because WotC sent him the wrong box, two weeks early.
