Try not to be closed minded and immagine instead the possibilities...


The depth of your lack of knowledge on this is staggering. You are taking WAY too much for granted.

1. Divinity 4.0 Engine is not optimized to be played as an MMO.
2. D4 is not built as an MMO engine, or to be one. Larian would have to start from scratch.
3. Larian has no experience doing an MMO.
4. MMO's are not really popular right now - they have fallen out of favor mostly*.
5. This would require a totally different license from WoTC as Rag smartly pointed out.
6. This would also be an incredibly long development cycle.

Bethesda tried to do an MMO with F76 and they failed party because they had no experience and didn't know what they really wanted and the engine they had was not designed to be an MMO so they had a lot of trouble modifying the Fallout 4 engine to be an MMO.

*Not going to get too much into this but basically the predatory nature of monetization with MMO's and the string of disappointing offerings designed to appeal to whales and not gamers is a big reason.

Good MMO's are expensive as fuck to create and have a super long dev cycle. A LOT never see the light of day because they run out of cash. Investors have shied away. It's just a terrible market right now.
