That might have been a good move beforehand. But now they already have a logo plus title and showed it in trailer and everything. Chickening out now would only embolden the opposition it has a similar effect to negotiating with terrorists. Plus its probably even called that in contracts with WOTC etc.
If they deliver a good product and maybe do some minor changes that show good will and they care its fine without compromising on their original intent. No need to redo the whole game nor could it be done at this point. Just hold fast and the drama will pass.
Well it wasn't announced until the logo et al was created, so....wouldn't be able to comment on it until after anyway.
Do I expect it to be changed? No. As you say, the precedent of doing so would be far more harmful to Larian's endeavor than helpful. Doesn't mean I won't say it though, since not saying anything guarantees nothing constructive (now or in the future) ever comes of it. Feedback is not an inherently instant gratification type of conversation, so I say my bit and see what happens down the road (if anything).
I honestly think and feel calling this BG3 was a huge error, but I do intend to buy and play it (unless something radically changes between now and release to convince me otherwise...as happened with Sword Coast Legends, but that was a case of a studio being wildly in over their heads...not the case here, but anything's possible).
