Sorry, I must've been in a hurry and didn't come back to it.
In the video, Professor DM states that his sources tell him that WotC/Hasbro has laid off the entirety of the book production team. (Not the design staff - those responsible for the printing and distribution of the physical product.) In the video he quotes job postings for digital product employees, ones with experience with subscription services, etc., as being further evidence that WotC is moving away from physical books.
He predicts that this will lead to D&D physical books becoming "for collectors" like how vinyl collectors buy records but most other consumers stream music nowadays.
I thought it was an interesting take about the future of the business. How about you?
Are his sources in the room with us now?
Exceptional claims require exceptional proof. It's not a secret WotC wants to move towards a larger digital footprint, but I can't imagine them moving away from paper. This reeks of the "WotC isn't supporting paper Magic" rumors. We knew about the last round is layoffs, so if this is new news, I would like some proof. Name names. Cite the Twitter and other SM posts of these fired people. Get some media to cover this.
Also, if the entire book production team is gone, I wonder who is going to get those "collector" books made?
I suspect another mea culpa video is in his future.
