Such a bummer. BG3 would have been an incredible game to play on the switch. It’s my favourite game and being able to play it on my bed would have been so cool.

Hasbro is terrible. The don’t care about the D&d brand. Just money, but not the money of switch 2 owners

I never understand why Companys throw away tons of money, just because some Bosses dont like each other anymore.
BG3 Switch would mean
– More Money for Larian
– More Money for Hasbro
– New Customers for Larian
– New Customers for Hasbro
– BG3 for Switch 2 Users
Win WIn Win for everyone. But some people are butthurt. Nice.
Same with Saw 11 Movie. Easy Millions of money, especially after the huge success of Saw 10, but some CEOs were fighting so they canceled it in the end, after they delayed the movie.

Has Hasbro been making bad decisions? I don’t believe it.

That’s a real shame, the more people that can play it the better.

As a Magic player I’m not shocked. Would be instant buy for me 🙁

Kinda strange that half of the article is actually about AI usage despite the headline, still an interesting read

Is the switch 2 that powerful? BG3 barely runs on the series S is my understanding
Is the switch 2 comparable in terms of power there?
Edit: Especially since the use case for local multiplayer is stronger on the switch than it was for the series s but i can’t imagine it’s powerful enough for local undocked multiplayer

Forgive me but I assumed Baldur’s Gate was its own property. Does a tabletop publisher have that much ownership over a computer game?

I would like to play BG3 in general, but at like…. 30 bucks. Life in general is too expensive and there were barely any real game deals this last year.

Wonder if Hasbro will give it to a port studio to do.

You do not hate hasbro enough.

This sucks, but this doesn’t actually mean that Baldur’s Gate 3 will never come to Switch 2. Hasbro will most likely hire a different studio to port the game.

Why in the world do people think a switch 2 could run BG3?

Not surprised. Hasbro acquired eOne which had previously acquired the game studio I worked at. Two major releases on Steam/Oculus/PSVR. 3 years of my career which I am very proud of. Hasbro “disinvested” from VR and now neither game is available for purchase… 😢

No dlc and no switch 2 port. 🙁 Thank you, Hasbro

Didn’t y’all say to fans on other platforms that since Nintendo doesn’t share it’s switch games to other platforms they should just buy a switch? Why don’t y’all do the same then? Games that don’t make it to switch, you play on other platforms.

Does Hasbro hate money?

Just because Larian isn’t, doesn’t mean a third party can’t either.

Congrats to Hasbro for actively and consistently refusing to understand what consumers want. Switch 2 is the best selling console of the year and will be a powerhouse for its entire lifespan, but sure, just pretend like you wouldn’t make millions off of a port.

Hasbro sucks ass, big shocker there.
That being said, could this have even run on Switch 2 to begin with? Didn’t they have issues getting it to work on Xbox Series S?
LegendaryPrecure
Hasbro continuing to show why they’re one of the biggest shitheel companies in the world.

Who has a shaky relationship with the owner? Is it Larian or Nintendo?

I already have it on PC and would not have double-dipped but as someone who is eyeing elden ring and expedition 33 on switch i feel for the people who wouldve bought it twice or wanted it on Switch 2.
TheTwistedToast
God damn it Hasbro! Why not?

Oh well ps5 it is then.

Take it from an MTG player – Hasbro being awful is just par for the course.
