I'm not accusing her of anything, but an example of it was when she asked what they're doing to rebuild trust with the community and his response where he went on about creating content standards for their own material felt like he was answering a different question due to how the video was edited. Again, not accusing her of anything. It just seemed awkward to watch.A couple things from this video:- Kyle is clearly sticking to the Meta boogeyman for why they felt they needed to change things, but at best it just continues to make WotC look more and more out of touch with the community if they can't understand a $50k income reporting requirement with $750k was going way overboard in preventing potential rivals with deep pockets from coming in. At worst, it makes Kyle look like a liar since he keeps insisting it was about future abuse while their <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1410-ogls-srds-one-d-d?utm_campaign=DDB&utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_content=8466795323" target="_blank">own post in December</a> clearly stated it would impact around 20 current publishers. If your stated goal of preventing Meta from coming in was your actual goal, it should have affected 0 current publishers and it wouldn't have been too hard to work with the other publishers to craft language to prevent this boogeyman from coming in. Paizo, Kobold Press, and EN Publishing all have a similar interest in preventing a bigger company coming in and taking their market away, I'm sure they'd be open to working on a way to keep the playing field level that benefits everyone.- I feel like a lot of people on both sides of the argument need to watch this video from <a href="https://youtu.be/Z8-2yiFT2PU?t=1275" target="_blank">21:15</a> on. 100% spot on accurate assessment of the situation IMO. They're a company folks, they're not good or evil. They're motivated by profits like most businesses. Every single choice is made to increase those profits.</blockquote>
