I read it this way as well. Even if I didn’t trust Larian as a company (I do), it’s pretty clear that taking the time to make a high quality product worked out really well for them.
I thought it was like: we found out it can be profitable to take the time to make a high quality product. At least when Larian is doing it.

Considering there were rumored to be several games in the pipeline that all got scrapped at the beginning of last year, I think you’re right. Dark Alliance didn’t do great so I’m sure the execs freaked out.
Hopefully you’re right about the message they received.

I am shocked to hear that an unfinished game didn’t do great

What are you talking about? Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance was a whole ass game. It got kind of shitty reviews (currently sitting at 50% on Steam, 4/10 on IGN, 53% on metacritic).

Releasing a game with obvious bugs is releasing an unfinished game in my books

I really hope you’re right
Also be fine if Larian just goes with Pathfinder or their own IP next time. Hasbro can fuck right off.

I would love Divinity: Original Sin 3 and hope they will make it!
