Out of the games listed in bold. Not one of those franchises have had a hit in the last 15 years. Which is a shame. Some of my favorite games of all time. But id were being honest the same people who made those games do not work at there anymore

New one was not developed by Bioware

Larian ironically found success by making the type of RPG that BioWare has been too embarrassed to make for the last twenty years as they have increasingly focused on style over substance.

And to be fair, some if not a lot of that was probably due to pressure on them by EA.

It's still in the franchise though yes? Looks like BioWare will go down as being the devs that made the crappy Baulders Gate

Not really, the BioWare Baldurs Gate games are considered some of the best DND PC games of all time, they just hadn’t touched the franchise since 2001 and left it for Larian to pick up again. Not that I would have trusted EA’s BioWare to do anything good with it.
