i agree with danielbda - if anything, id argue that wotc has a history of being fairly protective of the content and image of their licenses/ips, including fairly recently.
altho if wotc did have an issue with larians approach to bg3 theyd likely have taken some action, but based on the panel comments from today they seem not too concerned - which concerns me, lol
They only care about the IP but not the rules. You can see it in their most recent video games. Sword Coast Legends, Neverwinter Online and now BG3 are only D&D in name only. They have the setting and monsters but toss out the ruleset as they please. I don’t think WotC cares about tabletop. It’s the IP and trademarks that matter.
So they let companies butcher their rules system but heaven help anyone that tries to steal beholders or mind flayers.
