PSA: when you accuse someone of being disingenuous you are claiming that they are being insincere, either by intentionally lying or omitting relevant information. It isn’t just something you say when you disagree with someone.
I am fully aware of that, and that's intended. It is not however, directed at the poster, but at the idea itself. If a game wants to benefit from all positive things that come from using an existing IP, it would be disingenuous of it to demand for players to approach it without expectations. "With great IP, come preconceived notions"
[EDIT: After some research perhaps the word I was looking for was hypocritical]
I don't think anyone questions WoC and Larian legal basis for naming their upcoming game "BG3". They can call it Planescape Torment2 - it's their IP, they can do whatever they want. Whenver, BG3 fulfills expectations is of course subjective. In my personal estimate Fallout3 is not really a fallout game, but New Vegas very much is. It is important to me, because I like Fallout1&2, NV, and I was bored to death by Fallout3. And that's really good analogy, because if BG3 is like D:OS2 I might be equally unengaged by a "sequel" to one of my favourite games... or maybe I will like it for different reasons then BG1&2. Time will tell.
