    Here’s how it’s gonna go down:

    1. Hasbro sells Wizards of the Coast to Microsoft
    2. Microsoft uses the new IP from WoC and forces Obsidian to make BG4
      • Sidenote: Blizzard will take over MtG mobile
    3. Microsoft forces Obsidian to imbue BG4 with AI generated slop throughout and make it a live service game somehow
    4. BG4 flops hard
    5. Microsoft shuts down Obsidian

      Microsoft would have to buy hasbro in it’s entirety because wotc is the only piece worth anything, they’d never drop it. Other than that, disgustingly plausible. Could imagine microsoft buying hasbro just for wotc and shutting everything else down

      This is hilarious. I doubt Microsoft buys anymore IP at this point. Seems like they are failing hard but who knows they make the craziest decisions.

      Either way it’ll end in layoffs.

        Even if everything they did from now on was wildly successful there would be layoffs.

      God, comparing the cast of characters from outer worlds 1 (didn’t touch 2 so I won’t judge) to BG3, that would just be cruel to make obsidian follow up bg3. Lambs to the slaughter.
