[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7843247, member: 6670153"] If those concerned about the Studios size, a simple solution for Tuque Studios for this first D&D game would be to out source some of the work until they build themselves to a big enough size. For example even Larian Studios which now has over 200 devs working on BG3, turned to over 100 external developers to work on BG3 as well. Tuque could externalize some of the work as well. Alternately WotC could buy more small video game companies and merge them with Tuque Studios. Tuque Studios might be just a first purchase because WotC already had a deal with them and a game in development. This would help WotC expand the merged company rapidly to AAA size. Also concider the timeline of events. Tuque Studio makes a pitch for a Classic D&D game to WotC which impresses WotC enough so it grants Tuque Studios a licience to make a classic D&D game. Months later WotC desides to up their investment in this game and game developer so much that they buy them outright. What happened in the intervening months that got WotC see so excited by what they saw that they wanted all in, not just on the game, but the folks making the game as well. Just speculation, but I think WotC saw a prototype for the game that made them interested enough to give this group of scrappy Canadians a shot, but then months later with a more advanced prototype of the D&D game, WotC was so excited by what they saw they bought the game studio itself! That should tell you something about what Tuque Studios has already achieved, because WotC has alot of options to choose from when it comes to possible game studios to purchase and we don't even know if such a D&D game studio was even in the cards until whatever Tuque Studios showed WotC happened. Also to convider that while speculation is that it's a Diablo style game because the last Tuque Studio game was, but Tuque Studios only made one game, so that is not enough to establish a pattern or a preference. If they made a series of games like that and only that, then it would seem very like to be a Diablo Clone, but over one game, their first, no. Plus statements like Classical D&D and consulting with the core D&D design team suggest a TB CRPG or maybe a RtWP game, not a Diablo Clone with D&D lore. [/QUOTE]
