Game news The DLCs for Baldur’s Gate 3 and the future Baldur’s Gate 4 will never be released… “Larian lied to us!”
We are all saddened by the news: Larian does not wish to continue using the Baldur’s Gate license. This raises a few questions. For what ? A decision at the heart of our JV Debate.
Like it or not, the Baldur’s Gate license under Larian will see neither DLC nor fourth opus. This news leaves a mixed feeling among players, who are trying to understand. Is this a simple PR stunt, or is it something deeper and more complex than that? Our JV Debate will undoubtedly provide you with an answer.
The ultimate Computer RPG?
Baldur’s Gate 3 has a particularity that its predecessors do not have: he truly popularized C-RPG. Wizards of the Coast has many licenses and ways to earn money, such as Magic: The Gathering, the card game. However, the audiences for these licenses are niche. The public already knows these types of games and it is very difficult for people who do not know about them to integrate into the community. This is the power of Baldur’s Gate third of the name: it largely democratized the license, among an audience who did not know anything about it, making it possible to link a gigantic community. To be part of this community and understand this enthusiasm, don’t hesitate to watch our JV Debate!
A communication with multiple purposes
But for naglaglasson, it’s another story. It is easy to say that, since the license has worked, we can choose to leave or not. Indeed, a question remains: will big companies raise license prices in order to earn more money? Raising the prices of old Baldur’s Gate, riding on the passion that people have for the game, that’s a possibility. Money is at the heart of the problem here : A new video game episode, whatever it may be, in the Baldur’s Gate universe would necessarily have to go through negotiations. We will see if time proves one of the two participants right.
All these questions and very few answers. For those who wish to discover them, It’s in our JV Debate that it’s happening!
