No, if they continue to work for a corrupt corporation and know they are then they are just as much an issue as the company they work for. Ignorance of the situation is no defence, If ignorance were accepted as an excuse, any person charged could claim ignorance to avoid the consequences and be off the hook.

Ok, so a company exists thus everyone in it is awful. What have Wizards/Hasbro done to deserve your ire out of Curiosity?

It is obvious and if you don't know then I am not going to waste any time explaining it to you there are many out there that have laid this out in great detail so go look on youtube and else where.

Ok so the OGL thing I would guess. So you’re saying the people in the company who spoke and were against it, along with the various people that were not involved should be blamed for it, something that thanks to them didn’t end up going through.

Yep, everyone associated with HASBRO is irrevocably tainted and cannot be forgiven. Some people just look for an excuse to get upset and it seems that Vincent has found his. I can't imagine going through life looking for and holding on to grudges like this, it's not healthy. To each their own I guess.

In any case, if WOTC produces stuff I enjoy I'll buy it. If I refused to buy anything from a company that even (seriously) considered doing something I disagree with I'd probably be cold and starving in a cave now.

Claiming ignorance and being ignorant are not the same thing.

That is one of many issues with your argument and logic

your words, not mine, the issue is that the company has failed over and over and at some point, it becomes obvious that the issue is not with the artists or game designers but the people who make the decisions within the company and corporation that's the issue. After the 3rd edition, many left and formed their own company and put out great quality stuff, and we all know what happened with 4th edition. Then they decided to walk it back with 5e which was pretty good not perfect but good, and now they are trying to inch closer to what they were trying with 4th again. They want to go fully digital and have more control over everything you buy, plain and simple, i just decided that 5e was the last time i would spend on anything D&D related. The whole mess with the ogl and stuff just confirmed for me it was the right time to stop supporting a company that cares more about making a profit than the quality of the products or the fans who support them. Any way i said my piece, and i am ignoring this conversation further

Those darn whippersnappers and their outrage culture.... Oh wait!

Wonder when the direct will happen.

My guess is they'll make an announcement about it either this Monday or next Monday.

That is, if it's still on the table for this month.

I feel curiosity about the creator summit, and I worry because creators may different points of view about where should be the limits. Something could be allowed and wellcome in American or European market, but censored in a country from other continent. Or some artist could show partial nudity of no-human creatures, for example an animated caryatid(sculpted female figure) totally nude, but this doesn't show intimate zones.

And I would like to know if WotC likes the idea of the Unreal editor for Fortnite to be used for games style D&D... or other franchises as Gamma World or Star Frontier.
