Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

As far as intellectual properties go, yes. But, I'd argue that these two games also show us how the IP's are less relevant than how good the game is and how it's monetized (or in the case of BG3, not at all).

I don't think that's a fair analysis. Diablo 4 sold extremely well and it did it primarily off being another Diablo game. BG3 has been selling incredibly well but I can't say that's not because it is in Faerun and it's hard to tell because it is a great game. People love it for more than the world and the elements given to it by being in a franchise. Yet, DOS2 had a lot of the same elements but it's not nearly as popular despite how I might love its world more.
