Not at all, if his firing is incredibly public and harmful to his career, in the sense that it destroys it. Of course, the real prizes would be Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks and WotC president Cynthia Williams. Not just a firing like "okay, our visions didn't match and we need to amicably part ways" but scorched earth. If the thing the next guy hears is "yeah, the last time we tried to mess with D&D, the CEO, WotC president and person who came up with the plan all lost their jobs and are now working as sales assistants because no company will put them anywhere near an executive position" then that may be enough to make that executive think twice.

Yes maybe you misread a word in my post.

Please explain how you arrived at this conclusion in detail

Because he is a symptom of the issue, not the actual disease.

I did yeah, went back and edited it. I still think that firing Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks and WotC president Cynthia Williams would be more important.

Forums are poor places for extended explanations. Suffice it to say, there is far much more at work here than Chris Cao. This is easily evidenced by the fact that he was unaware of the D&D Beyond acquisition until it actually happened.

Chris Cao is a small minor piece on the chess board of actors that brought things to this point.

Why do people take Wizards at their word.

They seem to lack confidence in their ability to win in a fair contest.

Alternately, don’t use the fancy features of VTTs.

Or use discord, video or voice chat, and theater of the mind. This is a perfectly viable means to play.

It’s the bells and whistles that they’re trying to monetize. Bells and whistles are extraneous to play, not necessary to play.

He more this develops the more I find it funny that they chose this route rather than building a platform where the main page is D&D but every publisher that signs on has thier own “nexus”, it’s own tools and marketplace, using shared tools that can be modified to suit different games but have an easy default setup for publishers that aren’t tech savvy.

Wotc could have been getting (let’s say) 2% of most of the digital transactions in the TTRPG space within a few years of launch, if they had maintained a decent reputation.

No need to change the OGL, just have rules for using the platform.
As long as those rules aren’t garbage, and the percentage is small enough, most publishers would sign on.

And now that they might possibly see how bad an idea this all was, it’s too late to go the other way. Just wild.

I think I don't care what you think.

Yes, it does. We have been in talks to full turn it on to monitor the employees at my work. We have also set it for various client so they can track their workers.
