Weird, companies (and the people running them) actually prefer bigger profits, it's not just WotC/Hasbro... And that's also why the whole 'OGL revolution' stunk to high heaven. It was just companies (and the people running them) riding public opinion to make a quick profit. Them getting back to...

To be fair, we've been getting D&D boxed sets for years at this point... Beadle and Grimms 'Legendary' editions cost from €150 to almost €500... And I have to admit, they do look premium...

He didn't 'make' $40 million, that's what he 'sold'. Minus KS costs, credit card transaction costs, actual products that were sold, people paid, offices run, etc. Which is a LOT when you talk about almost 189k backers, they shipped 1,605,465 lbs worth of packaged product... It wasn't just...

shrugs That's what they are willing to give someone, it's up to someone else to say yes or no. What I mean is that if you have a job for longer then next Christmas, it might be better then the job till Christmas. Depending on the situation, you might not even have a Starbucks shift supervisor...

I don't see it as grievances, that's Dan Dillon territory... ;) But when some of us see the unbased positivity of fanboyism rearing it's ugly head, that Lemmings (Oh no! Splat!) behavior isn't healthy and many just point out the mess WotC made the past 20 years. It's of course not all a mess...

But that might have a longer term advantage... The issue with the mentioned tech companies is a different one from WotC/Hasbro. Most of those tech companies ballooned with employee numbers during the pandemic. That's mostly because there were unnatural demands on that tech industry during the...

Of course, just as people over glorify things when the reality is different. On the other hand: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. We've been around long enough that we're way, way beyond the 'twice' point with WotC/Hasbro... For example the stocks of Hasbro were at an all...

Is that maybe because WotC/Hasbro have been doing scummy things for 20+ years? They make products I sometimes like, but that's it. WotC isn't our friend, it's not the friend of the people that work there. To many people act like blind WotC fanboys/girls and not looking at the trackrecord, not...

Oh yeah, let's compare firing someone (a perfectly legal action) with raping someone (a horrible crime)... That's healthy! He's not a victim, he's a worker that's no longer needed and was let go. Was it done at a horrible time at a horrible scale? Absolutely! If you walk into the lions den...

On the other hand, how long has WotC/Hasbro been doing nasty firings, often around the holidays? 20 years? Dan Dillon knew what he was getting into when he signed up with WotC/Hasbro in 2019 or he didn't do his due diligence, but every fanboy wants to work for WotC and work on D&D... Getting...

That you get hired or that you won't get fired anytime soon after you're hired? Sidenote: Many, many comments made by people on Twitter aren't the most tactical, they are often emotional and posting something stupid on Twitter has a really low threshold...

I don't agree with that. Business should never do what their fans demand. They should do what is good business. The customer isn't always right, more often the customer is wrong, very wrong. Alienating their customer base is bad business, going back on that change is good business. That it's...

Extensive experience in IT at many different (big) companies over the last 25+ years as an outside contractor. At small(er) companies you can often do everything yourself, so very agile. At bigger companies everything has been segmented, what you did yourself at a smaller company, now requires...

4 of the 5 members that created our group 35 years ago. Meanwhile some new people joined, stayed a while and eventually left. Most of the core group is left...

Why not build your own VTT? Others have done so and have even gotten a D&D5e license. let's see how fast, how well and how profitable you can make this... A one man team is extremely agile/fast. A small team is already slower and less agile. A multinational is a slow cumbersome beast. When...

That is not how 'profit' works. You take all sales and the subtract all costs of the whole company, what's left is profit. Hasbro isn't making insane profits. They made a loss. And even before that, the profits they made weren't stellar. When you have a family, you also don't just look at what...

This is not an issue inherent to digital media. As others have said, a PDF is also perfectly usable regardless of platform or system. In this case specifically it's the DDB platform that's giving you issues, that's because you don't control your purchase or the platform you run it on. Other...

I don't know how dead the Terminator franchise is exactly when Netflix is doing an animated series: Terminator Zero The thing with the Terminator series is that it keeps coming back... Kinda funny for a time travel IP! ;) I like T2 even more then T1, the other movies I didn't hate, but were...

I suspect that changed when Humble was bought by IGN (2017)... I can't set the publisher to 0 either, it's always 1 cent minimum. ;)

When I try to open the product page I'm getting "Your loot is in another cave...", others might have the same issue... (In different browsers, logged in or out, even in private windows.) EDIT: It's not just this product, but all products, seems there is an issue on DTRPG...
