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?

If im not mistaken, the baldur's gate ip belongs to Wizards of the coast, not bioware/EA.

The whole reason they made Dragon Age was so they could have their own fantasy IP

Just like how Mass Effect itself was so they could have their own sci-fi IP independent of Star Wars

It annoyed me how Star Wars mass effect was at first.

Dragon Age had nearly twice the sales of Mass Effect, when the last Dragon Age underperformed EA decided to pull the plug on BioWare.
