So I'm not a gamer expert.

But how was Larian able to procure and publish Baldur's Gate 3?

Is there any chance a smaller studio could get rights to Mass Effect to make it?

I'm guessing the answer is no, but I always found it weird BG3 was able to be produced. Was that a special deal with Hasbro?

The rights to Baldur’s Gate rest with Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro who own D&D as a brand. BioWare was allowed to create the original Baldur’s Gate based off of the AD&D rules just like Larian was allowed to make BG3 based on the D&D 5e rules.
