their own official DnD game is the complete opposite of BG3 in terms of monetization, popularity and critical acclaim
I don’t follow. You buy a book and you play. Critical Role brings in more viewers than most primetime network TV shows ever could. They had a controversy around changing their monetization that didn’t come to pass, is my understanding, but the complete opposite of BG3?
Dark Alliance was a bit of a mess from what I hear.
Critical Role does great, but for the most part Wizards has left its own setting to languish. Most of the lore from Faerun is now 100+ years out of date (in-game) with new sourcebooks rehashing versus moving the world forward. Unless you’re a Drizzt fan, you’re not getting a ton as far as… well, anything is concerned. Even Dark Alliance is a rehash of Salvatore’s fiction.

I think they’re referring to Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance which came out in 2021, not to tabletop D&D
Ah, that would make more sense. I thought that was a licensed deal like anything else.
