    Yes, Hasbro wants to make another Baldur’s Gate game that continues to “raise the bar” without Larian

    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.”

        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.

      “raise the bar” is big Amazon language. Maybe a bunch of ex Amazon folks in Hasbro now.
