[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6670257, member: 2525"] I think you meant WOTC is a subsidiary of Hasbro. The salient point of what I said is that D&D is a department of WOTC, which itself is part of a larger entity (it does't matter if it's a subsidiary or division, the point remains the same in this context). And the most recent credits are quite different from the core rulebook credits. Which tells you it's not the same as it was then. No I say, directly, that he may not be sure which employees are assigned officially to the D&D department of WOTC, or whether they are assigned officially to another department but doing some work for D&D, at a particular month. He knows who he works with, but he may not know where they fall in that moment on the org chart in terms of what department they're currently assigned to. And, you just said essentially the same thing when you said, "Of course, they might just as easily be...members of other teams at WotC who worked on D&D for a period but aren't part of the team." I am not sure why it's a meaningful difference for this issue if WOTC has rapidly and drastically increased the number of people they at least temporarily assign to the D&D department to work on new content for D&D, or if they are longer term assignments, since the question is about what resources they're willing and able to assign to the department to work on D&D right now. Either way, the myth of a skeleton crew is blown. Either way, the claim that they don't commit resources to the department is blown. The question then only becomes "for how long" or "how often will they do this" and not "can they and will they". When did he say that? Look at the date, and what he specifically said. [/QUOTE]
