I gotta disagree with you there. I've seen my industry constantly kept down by cynical profit maximization - again and again. I find cynical profit maximization to be the cause of very nearly every problem in the world.

It's absolutely one of the big problems in our society. I've been LMAO at my company the last 6ish months since they laid off too many and we are just getting hammered for it on the front line as project after project hits staffing issues.

But what about the profit marginsssssssss!?!?!

Idiots.

And did it ask you any further questions beyond a page of "What do you think of D&D" followed by a page of "What do you think of WotC", or did it "hang up" on you?

I'm sure we all got the same survey.

Edit: also, WotC sponsors our school D&D Club through DDB, so that's very cool.

Short survey. I guess the truth hurts.

I love DnD, but I chose "negative" in my opinion of its direction because it won't truly be "One DnD" unless they consolidate the lore across editions instead of retconning during every edition while putting out inconsistent red herrings.

Funny how basic capitalism causes so many problems.

Late-stage in particular. A lot of the problems don’t start to emerge until it reaches a certain scale.

Yes, however I must truncate this post, as I am in a dire mood and to continue is risky.

Anyone else get asked for opinions on WotC itself?

Yes, unlike my responses about D&D itself they were not positive.

Anyone else get the feeling they were becoming seriously concerned about WotCs image?

Interesting that they wanted to know how we felt about WotC but didn't ask questions about why we feel the way we do.

They maybe afraid to hear the answer or they are simply trying to get confirmation on a huge problem they already knows exists. Either way its clear WotC is concerned its reputation is in tatters. I wonder if the MtG fan base got this survey too.

I suspect the wheels came off a year or two back became official recently.

Overlaps either OGL debacle.

Don't think it's anything specific wotc has done or haven't done just eventually 5E would peak.
