Critical Role Issues Statement

[Greg Benage]

YouTube is designed to make you mad. Don't let it.

Man, this is Twitter in a nutshell with the new algorithm. Instead of showing you posts from people you follow in chronological order, it shows you a selected assortment of posts on subjects you've shown interest in from people you've never heard of. I've read takes ranging from "WotC is trying to cancel cultural conservatives" to "this was all instigated by reactionaries against 'woke' D&D," with hundreds of conventional lefty "late-stage capitalism corporate greed" takes in the "middle."

I mean, I didn't memorize it or anything, but I remember the word "shameful."

Someone choosing to throw shade at CR, in their own castle (Twitter)?

Echo Chamber or Hate Engine, or both. Social Media is a bane on our society.

I mean, there are a lot more "Wow, this is a POWERFUL statement of support for #OpenDnD from our Critter Family" kind of takes, so I don't think the castle is in imminent danger.

Yeah I just saw a tweet that said "rumor has it now that WotC is putting OneD&D behind a pay wall, no physical books will be released" (not exact quote). They would be really, like in another galaxy, out of touch if they did this.

Yeah, I would assume so, hence the danger of trying to attack the king.

There's crazier stuff than that! A lot of them are (willfully or otherwise) just completely uninformed. I've seen "Wizards is trying to force DMs to pay royalties for running their games!"

I also saw Ginny Di being labeled as the whistle blower and she's had to correct people who ask her if she's been fired from WotC lol

YouTube is designed to teach you how to fix your garage door opener for $4 in parts instead of hiring a repairman. Everything else is just noise to ignore

The Guardian article was SO BAD it could be construed as saying that.

Though let's be real if WotC honestly thought they could get us to send them $10 every time we ran a game, they'd be working on that.

We haven't seen the business model behind their upcoming VTT yet. There's still time.
