MODERATORS
"Williams held the position for over two years and was involved in some of the company’s biggest highs and lows, with her tenure seeing the release of the D&D film Honor Among Thieves and the blockbuster video game Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as ushering in a wave of fan backlash following the OGL scandal."
They had little to nothing to do with BG3. The development process of a movie, including approving of a screenplay, takes longer than two years, leaving her responsible for...
Oh. Yeah.
The reason I abandoned the company. Or at least one of the avalanche of reasons.
Was thinking exactly this. Both films and video games - especially one the size of BG3 - take far longer than a couple of years to come to fruition which means the only thing she had a hand in was the OGL and every other small-to-medium controvery I've only really heard about through One Shot Questers' round up videos. Burn the witch.
