Baldur's Gate 3 Devs Devastated by Hasbro Layoffs

Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian Studios and director of Baldur's Gate 3, expressed his condolences to the Wizards of the Coast team affected by recent layoffs, noting that almost none of the original team members involved in the early discussions about the game are still with the company. Vincke thanked Wizards of the Coast for their support and expressed sadness over the departures. The announcement came in a Twitter thread where Vincke also discussed the time limit for acceptance speeches at The Game Awards, where Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year. Former Dungeons & Dragons creative director Mike Mearls, who played a role in the development of Baldur's Gate 3, was also mentioned in the thread.
