The CEO and upper management at WOTC are the real monsters. Greed is bad.
I bet they don't even play D&D.
There was some sort of QnA with the important WOTC people for some DnD influencers not too long ago, where they confirmed they never played and politely declined a room full of experienced DMs that wanted to run a game for them... Don't remembrr what the event was, but I think it was this sumner
Yeah that was at GenCon this year.
Oh I'm sorry I actually don't like fun so I'll have to decline a game...
Was that back during the OGL scandal? I recall seeing a bunch of interviews then, but that was like 3 scandals ago, so it's hard to keep track.
Megacorporations are neither Good or Bad, not even Neutral in DND terms. Those are human motivations. They're Shareholder Profit-motivated.
Some corps are Lawful Shareholder Profit-motivated, some are Neutral Shareholder Profit-motivated and some are Cahotic Shareholder Profit-motivated.
I find it interesting to reframe their actions and motivations this way...
