Late? She has been very vocal from the beginning.Better late than never, I guess.
Late in making a video is what I think she meant.Late? She has been very vocal from the beginning.
Yeah, that's the important part of this story.“Be patient with me…as I reevaluate everything about my career.”
Yeah. Several thousand people right there with you Ginny.
Still kinda never, as that video isn't discussing it. She just links to other videos but doesn't really comment herself on it.Better late than never, I guess.
I'm not sure it matters...Ginny D is a personality affected by this, and she is plainly sad and pissed off. All she'd have to say has been said much better by others, and she chose a number of good content creators to boost (I'd personally have linked to one of the streams Ryan Dancey has done, too, but I'm not running a channel).Still kinda never, as that video isn't discussing it.

She's posted several times on Twitter to make her displeasure known, and was actually cited by several news articles as a driving force behind the D&D Beyond cancellations. I don't think she deserves any flack for not adding another angry video to the growing heap on what was apparently supposed to be a month off. Her stance is pretty clearly against the OGL 1.1 (2.0?) and specifically in calling for WotC to pointedly declare the OGL irrevocable.Still kinda never, as that video isn't discussing it.

Nothing. I'm just saying she didn't say much in that video. I'm not busting on her for that; it's her prerogative. Just that for the casual viewer, they aren't getting a lot of her analysis on the matter as she's just linking to other videos. Which again isn't a bad thing. Just that there's not a lot of content there in that video. It's less her take on the OGL, and more "here's what others are saying."I'm not sure it matters...Ginny D is a personality affected by this, and she is plainly sad and pissed off.

What would you want her to say more than she's saying here?
As if the fact that casually destroying people’s livelihoods is “just business” isn’t exactly the problemYeah, that's the important part of this story.
A lot of us will be sad that our favorite brand just flipped us off. But what we should be focusing on is the careers and lives left in the lurch. I wish people would think about that before driving by to go 'lol, I don't care', or 'that's just business'.
Well toward the last portion, she does state that we need to keep the pressure on WOTC by cancelling D&D Beyond accounts and that we cannot trust anything WOTC says until they produce a written licence.Still kinda never, as that video isn't discussing it.

I made the comment above about how her video is light on her own personal opinion, but as far as influential D&D fans with large followings, it's miles above what CR put out. Hasbro clearly has no understanding about social media or the impact of influencers on the upcoming generation of gamers.Ginny takes January off to prepare for the year but has been vocal on Twitter. She made this video because she felt she owed it to her followers to say something, but explains others have already said it better. She is definitely stressed, angry and worried.
Ginny has a huge following and has been an enthusiastic supporter of D&D. Not anymore. Good job, WotC.
Yes. I don't think WotC predicted that Ginny would boycott them!I made the comment above about how her video is light on her own personal opinion, but as far as influential D&D fans with large followings, it's miles above what CR put out.

Or anyone, really.Yes. I don't think WotC predicted that Ginny would boycott them!
I honestly doubt they know who she is, which all things considered is their myopia toward anything or anyone that isn't also someone they'd consider a competitor.Yes. I don't think WotC predicted that Ginny would boycott them!
They've employed her.I honestly doubt they know who she is,
