Yes they were working on a DLC and considering doing BG4 but changed their minds. I don't have a problem with them deciding not to do either of these things. I never expected or wanted a BG4 from them and a full sized DLC would be a pretty massive undertaking if it took place after the main story of the game because they'd have to account for all the permutations.
My issue isn't with them deciding not to make DLC. It's with them abandoning this game when the final act is in it's current state. And I do think the word "abandon" is applicable here because the flaws are many and glaring. The game doesn't include what was said would be included right up until release and denying that is dishonest. They also set the standard for releasing a final version of the game that rectifies the most glaring flaws themselves. Which is why it's so off-putting when they talk about how liberating not doing this for BG3 is.
They're not willing to put the care into BG3 that they did into their past games and they're openly expressing elation over this. I know they don't intend it to come off that way. They're excited about their future projects and want to share that excitement. But they're also clear that they can't wait to leave BG3 behind. The game deserves at least the same attentiveness their previous games got post-initial release, and despite it being their most successful and beloved game they don't care enough to give it that.
