    They had to use an existing IP that’s famous among anyone that’s old enough to have been playing games 20 years ago to get this success. Even with the Divinity games under their belt, the BG title made lots of people take notice.

    Now they can probably start doing big original games, but it’s going to take a long time to build that kind of setting from scratch. Like, years and years of writing and they still won’t have the depth of BG3 for a couple games.

    I’m sure if they do it, it’ll be good. But a completely new IP is going to add a lot of time to development
