It’s still sad af. Even knowing the new ME wouldn’t be what it used to, the thought of never having any new ME or DA game just breaks my heart.

Our only hope is they sell the IP, but what devs could do it justice? Who even wants to buy it? Today is such a sad day.

Larian. The answer is Larian. Or one of those studios an ex-BioWare dev started. I think there’s like three

Unfortunately if Larian has sworn off ever doing another BG3 game because they hated working with Wizards of the Coast, I doubt buying an IP that is beholden to yet another gaming giant is something they would want to do.

Buying the IP would mean they didn’t answer to anybody but themselves. They were contracted by Wizards of the Coast, and what you’re describing would be them being contracted by EA, not buying the rights to the franchise.

Ah, gotcha, fair point. Unfortunately I don't think they would have the $$$ to broker with EA/the Saudis. Honestly, I think Amazon Games is truly the only studio that would even have a chance in hell at outright buying the rights, as much as no one wants to hear that.
