D&D General Hasbro Cancels Dungeons & Dragons Game From ‘Star Wars’ Veteran

[Sir Brennen]

Was this the warlock-centric game they announced at one of the Game Awards recently?

I was referring to the Larian fiasco more than anything.

I was clarifying that I was talking about Giant Skull. As far as Larian part of it was a dumb restructuring part of it seems to have been burnout from what I've read.

They probably saw what they were doing and decided to cancel before they ended up with another Highguard/Concord fiasco. Even Sega recently canceled what they called their "Super Game", likely for the same reasons

No, that one so far is still on. This was another game that was announced last year with no title or details

They don't need to. Nothing bad will happen if they don't. Only the best projects rise to the top. And in the end, neither you nor me have enough insights on the state of these projects to agree or disagree on what their future should have been.

Lol i am so tired of the lukewarm stances toward corporate behavior.

Yes, they do.

Stagnation is bad. Period.

I want more fun D&D video games.

I get a little bummed when a project that sounded exciting gets canceled.

But since I don't really know any details about this game or its development . . . I'm not judging either company, WotC or Giant Skull.

The entertainment industry is littered with the corpses of killed projects. Some were killed mercifully, some to protect the innocent (gamers), some deaths are tragic, others travesties against all that is holy . . .

Which one is this? I don't know. You don't know either.

Some companies have learned hard lessons from the Highguard/Concord flops; others...not so much. With how many have flopped due to myriad of reasons, WotC won't commit to something that can't match the quality of BG3, or at least not tarnish the brand

This is not lukewarm stance towards corporate behavior. I haven't touched a product of WotC since before the pandemic and I've been very vocal about them being a naughty word company in my eyes.

But critiquing a company for canceling games projects, which are insanely pricy and risky endeavors, without having any insider information as to how the project was moving, how good it was, how motivated the team was, etc, is not a good approach.

They've released some bad games with some of their studios, one which I have insider information on, and it was a bad show. It should have been cancelled.
