Look at the Sword Coast Legends, another D&DINO game. I do wish that Hasbro would protect the rules of their D&D games more but since they never seem to in the past, not expecting them to do so now.

This is going to sound cynical but we don't know if Dark Alliance is good or bad yet since it doesn't release for another 11 days. It may be brilliant or terrible.

I mean looking at it I know its not MY kind of game but who knows what the audience may be. Hopefully that isn't affecting Larian's radio silence since I don't see an overlap in the market for those two games. Except for the small niche of people who will buy anything with D&D plastered on it.

I honestly didn't even know Hasbro made video games until you mentioned they had control over Dark Alliance. Then I read this:

"In the deal, Atari's parent company acquired a 10-year exclusive deal to produce video games based on 10 key Hasbro franchises, including Dungeons & Dragons, Monopoly, Scrabble, Game of Life, Battleship, Clue, Yahtzee, Simon, Risk and Boggle."

One of these things is not like the other...
