      I don’t think they really can. Larian has creative control over the project itself, Hasbro can’t do much beyond input regarding DnD-specific things. Hasbro can try to milk DnD (as they have been doing), but this won’t affect BG3.

        Who has merchandising rights though? Who’s going to be pumping out Astarian FunkoPop knockoffs for the next several years?
