I'll wait until there's a real source. That being said WOTC are nauseatingly woke and it wouldn't be surprising to see them hire this clown. Maybe he can return to Bioware in time for Mass Effect 5 and make it a clean sweep of decimated Bioware franchises.

Absolutely insane to hire a dude who buried one of the best franchises ever

 

[jason10mm]

So the latest is that Corinne Busche has been hired by Wizards of the Coast as game director, and given that Larian has declined on making Baldur’s Gate 4, this probably means WOTC will be internally making that title with Busche in charge of the project.

Ok, now I finally believe in white male privilege and failing upwards

 

[yogaflame]

How can he get a job so easily after what he did to DA:VG that destroyed the game. Does skills and talent really matter this days in videogame industry.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

It takes more than one person to break a game...just like it takes more than one person to make a game.

Also the industry is full of nepotism (I benefitted from that) so it makes sense I guess. Its easier to hire the person you already have a working relationship with than take a chance on an unknown, especially with the pendulum swinging as hard as it is right now.

 

[peish]

Not surprised if true

 

[Roberts]

Wizard of the Coast is peak woke, and one of the reasons, if not the main, why Larian is not working with them anymore.

In their clown world, this makes sense.

Source?

Yeah, I basically already was probably not going to buy BG4 with Larian not involved. But this seals it.

Exactly this. I’ll just wait for their next game.

 

[clintar]

Source?

Oh yeah? "Source?" infinity!

 

[samoilaaa]

I just hope WOTC won't fuck up Exodus. I have high hopes for that game.

the game has male/female/non binary at character creation , you really expect it to be non woke ?

Where did you get that confirmation?

 

[samoilaaa]

Where did you get that confirmation?

after the game was announced there were a couple of gameplay clips leaks ( very short 5-6 seconds each ) , one was with an explosion , one was with some gliding and one with character creation screen

maybe they changed it after all the scandals with concord and veilguard

Baldur's Gate 3 was already full of DEI anyway.

Sure, BG3 had a lot of things, you don't get to tell it what it is. - Taash

In all seriousness, those are some mammoth sized shoes to fill. Seeing how she butchered the DA franchise. I cannot in any way see how this will have a happy ending for the devs, WotC or fans of BG3. Silver lining is that we will have another game to laugh at.

Thanks Jeff

We don't want sweet woke game like Veilguard. Like Disney Pixar game with people get offended by pronouns and shit.

Thanks. I can stomach that in character creator. If I gotta have shit like that in my party as a companion or a prominent character in the story then then I'm out.

 

[Kamina]

Baldur's Gate 3 was already full of DEI anyway.

Not really. It had tons of options to make everyone happy, but none of the brainrot seen in Vailguard, especially in dialogues.

Wut? There is no world in which Dragon Age is one of the best franchises ever.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's a big stretch. We don't know the current state of BG franchise and besides Wizards of the Coast will likely outsource Baldur's Gate 4 to a studio experienced in making big RPGs.

The future of this IP is already fucked in my opinion - any sequel won't live up to the expectations no matter who develops the game. Kinda like with Half-Life 3 or Bloodlines 2.

 

[Aurelius]

Don't really care about the Baldur's Gate franchise. BG3 was good because it was made by Larian.

 

[GymWolf]

Another one of those funny posts where someone can’t tell who you’re talking about. Grifters? X Leakers? Grummz? Debunkers? Journos? The director? All of the above?

Pretty sure 99,99% of the people in this topic know exactly who he is calling out
