[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9448745, member: 9053"] I have to ask if that's really true. It's been obvious to me that there's been a serious problem with management and the corporate culture over at WotC for years now. It's one of the reasons I try to differentiate between the creative people and management. And yet, whenever this is brought up, there's a chorus of people ready to just say, "N[I]ah, It'll be fine.[/I]" (If you know who the Critical Drinker is, when I write that, I say it in his voice). There really seems to be a load of folks who think everything is fine and the WotC ship is sailing along without issue. The launch of the new Edition is underway, and when the PHB comes out I expect it will sell just fine. More books than the previous one did. And we will have a lot of people saying, "see!" over it. And yet I wonder how many gamers, how many Youtube personalities, how many companies who want to do business using the WotC brand, are being more hesitant. I certainly don't wish anything bad on the people who make D&D, but it does seem like they are increasingly frustrated by the people who don't make it, and yet have control over how that brand evolves.
