WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

[Minigiant]

and decided to throw the OGL in there to distract the designers from their actual work

That hurt but they never have the time to playtesf at all.

Even the designers underestimated how united the base was and wasted what little time they had.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I also don't trust any person who says that things were rushed and that's why the game is bad... because almost inevitably the kind of game they think is great is the one I think blows. So their opinion of good or bad is strictly just that... their opinion.

I was cool, then I was hot, then I was cool again, and then I was dope, but then I was lit.

And now I'm just confused.

it might very well be rushed, but I would not expect a less rushed version to be drastically different, maybe better balanced, some fewer errata, stuff like that, but not a drastically different game

They would not have turned this into Shadowdark or 4e, if only they had 6 more months

Mist editions are designed over 3 years. Revisions take around two years.

4E was mostly designed over two years. It's obvious they missed a bit in the 4E phb.

the 4e team said something pretty similar here


basically they had barely any time to playtest

What part of the video it's 5 hours.

I dislike 5E and 5E24 on their own merits, but WotC/Hasbro are why my disinterest and disappointment are coupled with active negative feelings.

Like 5E 2014, indifferent to 2024, active dislike of WotC.

good thing I just listened to that part earlier today, so I found it relatively fast, start at 47:20 or so

EDIT: as I progress in this, also 1:26:50 mentions this briefly

I was cool, and then I was hot, and then I was cool and finally I chased my family away from the damned thermostat.
