Swen saying that they're elated to not be working on DLC is kind of in poor taste. Breaking the news slowly over weeks isn't the answer I don't think, but they still could easily have done better. Not releasing a formal announcement on their platforms for example, feels like a misstep.
I agree with this. The word 'elated' struck a sour note and making an official announcement on their own platforms first would have been better PR wise, in my opinion. I think the way this news reached the players definitely helped fuel some of the speculation about Larian and WotC.
Hearing they had started work on DLC and then stopped was a bit of a blow. I'll be honest, I heard there would be no DLC before I bought the game and I was really happy about it. It seemed refreshing that Larian didn't want to milk BG3 for all it was worth. However after playing BG3 and enjoying it, I would have considered shelling out for a sequel.
Considering how enthusiastic Larian seem to be about the new shiny thing they are working on, leaves me worrying that BG3 will be left in its present state: Buggy and feeling unfinished. I was hoping for a Definitive Edition with bugs ironed out and a little cut content reinstated, but now I'm not hopeful of getting that.
I think it would be a good move if Larian used their own platforms (including this one) to reach out and give us a definite yes or no on a definitive edition and also to reassure players that all major issues will be fixed before they move on.
