So i get where he's coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

...is that an attempt at sarcasm or something?

'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

Same Lemmy title as the article. You know exactly who's talking ("CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke"), about whom ("the D&D team he initially worked with"), what happened to them ("is gone") and who is to blame ("due to Hasbro layoffs").

As far as titles go, it's pretty good at telling you exactly what the actual article is about. Sure, you may need basic knowledge about how a licenced product works, and that BG3 is under the D&D licence. It would be rather hard to fit all that in a title.

I'm kinda with you on that, without knowing that Hasbro doesn't own Larian this can be misread.

But I guess that the overly angry tone made people quite upset about your comment

...and you should read more than the headline, then you'd know that

Maybe they just exhausted their reading quota for today, it's a pretty long headline, after all
