MODERATORS
I'm assuming someone at larian told them "this is literally free advertising for BG3 and DnD as a whole, what are you doing"
WotC's approach to copyright is deranged even by capitalist standards. They sic'd the literal actual Pinkertons on a guy for showing off some Magic cards they sent him.
I think I remember that - they accidentally shipped them to a paying customer ahead of the street date, right?
Iirc he was like a Magic influencer and they sent him the cards free so that he'd show them off but they fucked up the shipping and sent them a couple weeks earlier than they meant to.
Making the ghost of Gygax proud, really.
More like this is bad PR! If there is one thing that can sway corpie its PR
