If we’re lucky they’ll sell them off in time. Big if :(

Speaking as a Command and Conquer fan, it won't happen. They'll just sit on the IP's collecting dust until they eventually enter the public domain so they can occasionally put out a shitty mobile game and collect some revenue from the property this way.

But what about a low budget Command and Conquer horror movie?

Listen, if they can get Joe Kucan back out of retirement to play Kane, I don't care how cheesy and low budget it is. I'll watch it and like it!

Like they did with Dungeon Keeper in 2014. I’m still angry about that one.

I would do UNSPEAKABLE things for a Larian made Dragonage. You hear that Swen? Sick twisted things.

Id also be very interested in Larians take on Mass Effect. Just kind of interesting how theyd handle scifi. Or shooting mechanics.

Many IPs I think Larian would absolutely nail. Dragonage, ME, NWN... They're the new bioware

I'd prefer for Mass Effect to be bought by CD Projekt Red. I think they'd make it a blast better than Larian.

Let Larian take the Dragon Age IP.

I don't think Larian wants that. They seem much happier developing their own IP.

Swen said the team wasn't excited to continue anything D&D related. That's why they aren't making a BG4. I doubt they would pay money to run into similar issues with Dragon Age.

Just have them redo 3 and 4 and we can pretend the previous ones didn't exist

I think anyone being even a little realistic knows what will happen....
