Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have "about 40" video game projects in the works (www.gamefile.news)

Lol I think they saw the success of BG3 and credited their own IP instead of the quality of Larian Studios. Without WotC BG3 would still have been an amazing game. Without Larian, it'd be unrecognizable.

I agree.

But to be fair, they're not looking to make great videogames, they're looking to make video games that make profit. If they have the IP and just slap 40 in the works, probability says that some might make the entire thing profitable, as long as you keep costs down. (Exploit cheap labour and AI tools prolly.)

I just hope one or two of them ends up being playable.
