If Larian wants to break with tradition and face the legal headaches tied to this issue it is up to them even games that once were mods had to then buy a license to make their games and the mods that spurred the creation of that game still exists Free of charge its just the cleanest most legal way to do it so if you feel its somehow morally or ethically fine that's your own business legally its been established as bad practice thank you.


You know they could just take the whole engine, rename it, change it up a little, maybe add some documentation to it, remove some art that identifies it as divinity keeping more of the landscape and vague props. Then release it as a Standalone Engine that may not even Require Divinity Original: Sin.

It will basically be another Game Engine in the market to compete with other engines just much more tailor to RPG games with turn base combat etc.
