People are still calling it a Pokemon clone even though only like 10% of the gameplay involves catching Pals. It's closer to being a survival game with a dash of "Pokemon at home" than anything else.

To add to what you are saying, I wish they would make that message clearer. The first time I saw it, I thought they were still going to charge me for the extra copy and just not give it to me. Still not 100% sure about it.
"Screwed them over" may have been a bit strong, but as you mentioned WotC laid off a bunch of devs. The important part is that they were devs who working directly with Larian on BG3. This is more likely than not also the reason Larian halted work on BG3 DLC. The public statement was that they lost their motivation, but it's no coincidence that the DLC was cancelled very close to the layoff announcement. There are also the backhanded remarks that Swen has made about WotC watching him. It really sounds like Wizards is trying to control the narrative and make it look like the parting was amicable.
It's just unfortunate that Larian will most likely not be doing BG4 if there is one. Corporate greed ruined it for everyone again. For anyone who isn't aware Wizards of the Coast basically screwed all of Larian over.
I love how Mint is just living her best life ever since she was "kicked out of Heaven".
Thanks, I'll take a look.
I used to follow a subreddit called SelfAwareWolves that was dedicated to this. It was pretty amazing.
They are on all social media platforms.

Can we stop calling these glorified chat bots "AI" now?
The problem is that at the core it IS a complex issue, but that does not speak to what is happening RIGHT NOW. Right now there is a genocide. Right now people are dying for a war only politicians want. Right now matters a lot more than making lasting peace in the future. The issue of peace is complex and nuanced, and that has nothing to do with the genocide going on right now. The problem is that people think it does.

I wouldn't quite go so far as to say it's gone "mainstream" since you still have to be moderately nerdy to know about it. I get your point though. This is one of the reasons I am so happy the Steam Deck exists. Before Valve released the Steam Deck nobody wanted to make games for Linux, so Valve said "fuck it, we'll do it ourselves" and proved it was not only possible, but a better experience overall. While not all games work, having 78-80% of your game library work on Linux, with no Windows OS performance tax, is a great experience. Even with the Proton compatibility layer games generally run faster than on Windows.
