4e Schadenfreude intensifies.
D&D 5E D&D Retropective: 5e ends not with a bang, but a whimper

I dont know that the year was all that bad from a release perspective, and if BG3 is falling under "D&D Releases" then it was a huge success, considering it is factually one of the great games of all time.
Now, if Wizards actually learned from BG3, well then its an even better year, but I wont hold my breath for that one.

Seems bone headed they didn't have a tie in product.
Or urban adventure like the 2 Waterdeep ones.

Yeah, I think I may just have lower expectations of Wizards at this point, but I dont see the year as being worse than 2022, off the top of my head, at least from a release perspective. Outside of releases, clearly it wasnt a great year, but 5e/D&D retrospective on 23? It was fine.

Baldur's Gate 3 came out in 2016. At that time, Descent into Avernus was the tie-in product.

Games a recent release.
DiA also seems to be regarded as crap as well from the sounds of it.

"Final Release" recently, yes. It's been in Early Access for years - one of my friends has been playing it for years in that form.
Whether the tie-in product is likeable or not was not a prerequisite. It was done as a tie-in.
It came out several years ago.
The timeline on BG3 was hurt a lot by the pandemic, I bet. And the Shattered Obelisk uses a couple of the same themes. Though not, I believe, that effectively.

How so?
What do you mean with this?
Does any edition end with a bang? One of the reasons we get new editions is because of sales trailing off. What the heck would a "bang" even be?
