[QUOTE="justinj3x3, post: 7676607, member: 6789625"] This is a good point, and I'll give my point of view on it. This is my point of view and I am in no way saying it belongs to anyone else or that it is what is going on. Since 5th edition has been released WOTCs behavior and handling of the product has been confusing and hard to understand because of no communication from WOTC in regards to what their intention is for the D&D TTRPG line. This behavior along with comments about focusing on the brand and branching out to other platforms as well as things like marketing the TTRPG like a boardgame wreaks of corporate takeover. It causes concern that the TTRPG is going to go to the wayside. It comes off as decisions being made by guys with their suits and ties and statistics who don't even play the game. On top of that all the books (besides core) are being produced outside of WOTC and we are hearing of lay-offs, which makes it seem like the people at WOTC are being transitioned to typical corporate execs overseeing outsourced material. On top of that we get comments like the one Mearls made about books not being able to be canceled if they weren't announced and I feel like I'm talking to an attorney. All of these things with no real communication from WOTC about what they are doing and what their intentions are creates fear that Hasbro has decided to take too much of the reins. Everyone knows when corporate takes control from the creative guys the product is sure to go south. Those have been my fears and I'm glad to hear that they are contributing and writing some of the products. It makes me feel a little better, because they did an AMAZING job with 5e and I want it to be as great as it can be! [/QUOTE]
