This thread keeps going off topic. It's not about how games should be in general or how different BG3 should have been developed as a whole, or whether or not Larian and other game devs should include cinematics. I think that's a topic for another thread.
Do we need another thread for discussion of Larian's decision to stop development of BG3 beyond bug fixes?
Those things aren't necessarily off topic though.
Unless you want a thread that is just people going "I agree, Larian's decision is disappointing" for 1000 posts.
One of the initial points brought up in relation to the disappointment, is that in general, continued free development of a title post release is an uncommon practice. So while it's disappointing for a fan of the game itself to no longer get any additional content for the game, it shouldn't be all that surprising.
With one of the major qualms about this lack of additional content typically stems from the underwhelming Act 3, which is indicative of Larian's entire development cycle wherein they seemingly burn themselves out with their extended Act 1 EA development and then rush through the rest of the game.
Beyond that, there's not much discussion to be had really. Larian's decision is final, given the IP rights have been handed back to WotC, so it's not like pleading for them to return to the game can influence them. This end result is what it is. Anything else to discuss will be tangientially related at best, whether it's about IP rights themselves, why people are disappointed in the decision (I.e. Relating back to the state of the game) or the overall development of BG3.
