The company said it's earned about $90 million dollars through its licensing deal with Larian for Baldur's Gate 3.

Hasbro said in its full-year financial report that its overall revenues declined 15%, due to a 19% drop in its consumer products segment and 31% decline in its entertainment segment. But the Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming segments were actually up 10%, "driven by [an] increase in licensed digital gaming revenue behind Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios and Monopoly Go! from Scopely."

It’s actually hilarious that after getting these checks they immediately turned around and tried to sell the IP to Larian.

That was clickbait and misleading. Hasbro wasn’t selling the IP, Tencent was trying to buy exclusive video game rights for Larian. It wasn’t for the entire IP.

What percentage Hasbro get after each unit sold?
