TSR TSR3 is no longer the original TSR

After weeks of claims that TSR3 was the original TSR resurrected, that they started the hobby, and that they created Gen Con (a convention which started in 1968, five years before even the original TSR was created), TSR3 has now altered its stance. Now it is no longer the old TSR. The new company states "... we are not the old TSR in any way. We are a new entity." TSR3 has deleted many earlier tweets.

well this keeps on going somehow, why do they not just throw in the towel now?

I have a feeling this will keep going on for a while...

I'm trying to work out if @Morrus is amused by this whole fiasco - or really annoyed.

First rule of holes- when you’re in one, stop tweeting.

Free news for yonks! Who'd be angry?

Just grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch the fireworks.

I gather this is one of the bullet-pointed recommendations in Michael's resignation letter.

Gen Con was started by Gary Gygax and later acquired by TSR. Not sure if this was through the popularity of D&D in 1976 or to bring both under one entity for something like taxes. I know that I never heard of it as something not primarily D&D, at least in the 80s when I started playing.

Looks like the D&DVA (Dungeons & Dragons Variance Authority) have purged another TSR from the Sacred Gaming Timeline. It's obvious that EGG Jr. doing a stream is a Nexus Event.

I think Justin LaNasa needs to go find a gaming apocalypse to hide in for a bit before trying to re-emerge.
