Original thread title was ragebait, this is just a rumor/theory by some anti-woke YouTuber.
I dunno about the youtuber I just connected the dots the moment I saw the news article.

I repeat my prediction for BG4 from last year:

I say it'll never happen. Hasbro are clowns and they'll fail to get another Baldur's Gate project off the ground.
I see the point, but if SKS was working on something small, which ok it's a relatively small studio, then hiring a person who worked on AAA games, failed sure, but AAA, is kind of suspicious.

Are people who worked on an AAA game supposed to only work on AAA games for the rest of their lives? Kingdom Come was made by people who worked on Mafia and Arma.

No but if you're bringing a lead on an AAA project in house you're likely to do it because you want to have the organisational experience of developing large game.

Even if you are developing a not large game, you'll still want the "organisational experience of developing large game". Cause "large" is all relative, even a Pathfinder Kingmaker is not a game you can make with a bunch of inexperienced people.

Okay okay, by that time I suppose Obsidian remains will be scrapped and fired, but her me, we can assemble a dream team of devs!
Project lead - Corinne Busch
Lead Designer - David Gaider
Balance team - Josh Sawyer

All this bollocks can pan out how it wants for me.

So long as we get a woke-free Skald 2 and some of the other Indie CRPGs are up to scratch, that'll do me.

Leave the normies to their gay normie shit.

Not surprising in the least, considering just how insanely leftist and woke WotC has become over the recent years. They recently published a book about the history of DnD and it was nothing but an anti-White diatribe shitting on Gary Gygax and the "straight white male" audience of the game.

Maybe the rumor is wrong, but you can notice that after a spectacular failure like this, he finds a new job instantly, while many talented people struggle to get one. It’s indeed a case of a caste hiring each other, and unless it all burns down, nothing will change. It’s not too surprising that people vote for Trump when they see that.

It's like Indians, but with stinkditches instead of poo.

It may have been a financial failure, but Busche got it to ship. There are claims that it was a massive unplayable mess before Busche started directing it. That has value, even if the tastes are warped (and that can be adjusted).
