How long do we wait for WoTC to speak?

[Maxperson]

If they're waiting for tomorrow 13th, and maintaining 1.1 as it has been leaked, it's an even shittier move. It's basically like "boom, here it is, taking effect immediately."

If they do that, picking Friday the 13th for it seems very apropos. I wonder if that was intentional.

A truly contentless statement already has been published via D&D Beyond, which is the official news source for D&D from WOTC and Hasbro. Any further statement will need content of some kind.

Apparently the WotC response goes live at 3PM (according to a tweet posted in another thread).

Which time zone?

I thought this video on what do we do was good

I used to work in comms for one of the biggest companies on the planet, and while it can definitely take a long time for a company to change course, it's pretty bizarre to not even issue a functionally content-free "We hear you" message after this sort of backlash.

They did that a few days ago. Totally content-free.

Thanks!

So, they are going to make an official statement about this situation in less than three hours and they didn't make any kind of announcement about it?

Where did WotC say they were making an announcement? I see a couple of people saying they're going to, but nothing actually from them. Which makes the likelihood of this actually happening seem suspect.
