Asking an honest question as someone new to the FR and canon as it relates to DnD. What is the significance as to whether or not BG3 (or anything else for that matter) is considered canon? Obviously players are free to ignore or embrace whatever works for them. I'm assuming its only an issue for publishers.
I see a lot of it being about the identity of the world/universe of the IP. Over the last few years there has been outcries against the makers of Rings Of Power because they trashed Tolkien's lore and against the makers of Wheel Of Time because they did a similar thing to that IP.
