This is the Chris Cocks “all my friends use AI” types who buy E-One and then sell it for pennies on the dollar and then do haircut firings regardless of performance. This is why Toys R Us is out of business. This is why you can have a brand new edition release and still have a down quarter. It’s where executives play three-card monty with their assets and licenses and job titles and acquisitions so no one can figure it out. And it affects real people and the underlying games.It’s almost impossible to know what that group can do to the underlying game.But it doesn’t matter. In a few months we’ll have the third of the three 2024/2025 D&D core books and they can’t take them away from us.</blockquote>
