Larian were overwhelmed by the early access launch and didn’t have the personel to do everything they wanted. Has anyone noticed there are way more posts in the BG3 section of the forum than in the sections dedicated to earlier games? I’m assuming the same holds true for other communication channels.
My guess is that every available body was set to work on processing feedback and whatever communication efforts Larian had planned were scrapped until further hires could be made (which seems to have happened a few months ago).
That’s just a logistical reason, though. If it’s a positive decision on Larian’s part, other posters have made fine points. I would add this: if their plan was to starve their fans of information in order to have their attention when marketing for release rolls around, it worked. I’m definitely curious, along with other emotions OP has asked not to mention.
