MODERATORS
Seeing a lot of people in this and similar threads confused by the headline apparently not having read the article.
There were no mass layoffs at Larian, the video game studio that developed Baldur's Gate 3.
There were mass layoffs at Hasbro, the company that owns Wizards of the Coast, which produces the Dungeons & Dragons RPG system used by Baldur's Gate 3.
Throughout the development of Baldur's Gate 3, the team at Larian would have been working alongside the team at Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast to make sure the Dungeons & Dragons system was integrated properly into the video game.
Following the layoffs, the CEO of Larian had commented that the D&D team who had helped design the system that Baldur's Gate 3 is based on is now almost completely gone.
