They've said several times now that sales of these updates will increase the chance of BG3. They have to prove there's a market for a sequel, and that people will buy it.
Yeah, and jumping increases the chances I'll float up into space. You think they'll greenlight BG3 when this game pulls in 50k of revenue? 100k? 150k? What kind of revenue do you think they'll need to get a BG3 greenlight? How many people do you believe are going to buy this?
But the real question is -- why would I even want a BG3? In this day and age, it's impossible for the game to even be half as good as BG2 was. It will have a dumbed-down combat and character system, it will have short dungeons with idiot-friendly puzzles (if any puzzles at all), it'll have "emotional impact," etc. I'd rather the ultra-talented AAA developers of today focus their efforts on Dragon Age 3.
