Why abandon their golden goose? This is now their flagship game, and they can continue making money out of it for a long time beyond the base game.

This game took a lot of money and a very long time to make. It makes perfect sense to capitalize on that hard work by building upon it and expanding the consumer base.

In times as precarious as these for the gaming industry, relying on a proven IP to ensure sustainable revenue flows is almost mandatory. BG3 is now a popular and recognizable IP. Larian can afford to develop more than one game at a time.

When Mihoyo came out with Genshin, they were on the ropes. It was a big gamble that paid off tremendously. Now they're developing multiple games at the same time, while ensuring that their flagship game is well provided for.

Larian was a lot more confident in BG3, but they had similarly gambled a lot on its success. That gamble paid off, too. Now, by nourishing the BG3 community, they can ensure the success of their other games.

Heck, Microsoft is still making content for Age of Empires 2 to this day, and that game's ancient.
