The developer of Baldur's Gate 3 may be done with the series and D&D as a whole, but it still has "two games that we want to make" and "lots of concepts" to explore.
Ori and the Blind Forest has sold around 10 million copies which "probably makes it the most successful Metroidvania ever made," but its dev could've gone bankrupt

The developer of Ori and the Blind Forest has revealed the Metroidvania series has sold around 10 million copies when it could've bankrupted its developer.
The director of Ori and the Blind Forest has taken to Twitter to show off their latest purchase. Along with a photo of the Neo Geo (one of the most expensive consoles of all time when adjusted with inflation) and a copy of Metal Slug 3, Thomas Mahler writes: "If Blind Forest would have flopped back then, we would've been bankrupt as a studio."
The tweet continues: "But thank god it didn't - we sold around 10m copies of Ori so far, which probably makes it the most successful Metroidvania series ever made. And it allowed me to buy this." Mahler is clearly a fan of retro consoles as the Moon Game Studios CEO follows up this tweet showing off some of the other treasures in their collection. For instance, not one but seven Sega Dreamcasts, some PS2 and PS3 devkits, a special edition Nintendo GameCube, and more.
