For example, I don’t think Dan Dillon made his comment because he’s resoundingly negative on D&D. But he is pointing out that the company fired experienced designers less than a year ago and are now rehiring. They didn’t see a need for designers less than year ago? Companies are not perfect creatures making automatically logical choices - decision makers make boneheaded decisions, and people have a right to point that out when they feel it happened.It just so happens that the company is releasing a new edition of the game which is always a hot topic for fans that brings plenty of positivity and negativity as the changes come out - that’s expected, really. And on top of that, they seem to be pivoting to a digital medium in a time where tech companies are being increasingly criticized. So yeah, they’re gonna be a lightning rod for criticism too.And while you may be blasé about corporations, and expect the worst so why bother talking about it, surely you cannot expect others to take things as resignedly as you. People gripe on imperfect information all the time, and sometimes it’s overblown - and sometimes it isn’t overblown. Sometimes the defenders of the company’s decisions are underplaying the downsides of whatever topic is at hand.</blockquote>
