I like Kate and when I do watch the Acquisitions Inc stuff, she's always fun and engaging. And while I understand how some people are questioning the decision, I feel like perhaps they're looking at it from the wrong angle. I mean.....yes, she's leaving a job in uncertain times. That may seem odd to us because we don't have all the details, and we likely won't get all the details. But look at it this way.....whatever her reasons, they were strong enough for her to leave even now, during uncertain times. I think that says something. She obviously feels strongly enough to make that decision, which she admits was incredibly hard. As for D&D and the new user experience.....it's been very poor for a long time, and they obviously want to improve things. They wouldn't continue to make Starter Sets tied to other properties and so on if they didn't want to make the game more accessible. Kate seems to think that even stronger steps could be taken. Given the current climate and the number of people that seem to be discovering the game for the first time, I don't see what's controversial about her saying that welcoming those new folks and making things accessible to them should be a primary focus for WotC. Seems pretty fundamental. Getting caught up on the exact words she used in conversation instead of just her intent seems a bit silly, but well....internet.</blockquote>
