Adam Bradford, one of the founders of DnDBeyond, comments to Wargammer

[darjr]

D&DBeyond (DDB) founder and Demiplane CDO Adam Bradford recently weighed in on the Dungeons and Dragons OGL controversy, telling Wargamer, “as a fan of D&D, it is frustrating to see the walls being built around the garden”. “Through founding and overseeing DDB, I had a front-row seat to the direction Wizards of the Coast wanted to go with things, and that played a key role in my departure from that former job.”

Hoo boy. If you leave a job because of the direction your owner wants to go, it's not a good sign for where your owner wants to go.

He's frustrated to see it... and there appears to be a complete lack of surprise.

Wait. Did WotC own DnDBeyond at the time? I dint think so. If not it’s telling how much control WotC exerted

honestly who cares what he thinks. He knew what would happen and did it anyways. Same with Twitter or any other company that sales out to a larger corp. You knew what would happen and you decided fat stacks of cash was better.

Setting the record straight - false statement here that I would like to refute.

I didn't see a dime from Wizard of the Coast's acquisition of D&D Beyond. I left well before the sale, and only after a nightmare of a year's worth of fighting to get WotC to see the light on a plethora of things (not just regarding the OGL).

My apologizes. My ire is focused at the owners. Didn't mean to single you out. Ill make an edit.

Indeed. I can hear the reactions from WotC now:
