[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9618758, member: 18182"] Did Mearls get "promoted" or at least get a lateral change in position . . . or did WotC shuffle him away from D&D due to his controversial involvement with Zak S? I think it can be both. If WotC was really trying to silence or punish Mearls, they could've just fired him at the time. More likely, his involvement with D&D was becoming problematic . . . to a degree . . . and that coincided with the opportunity for him to switch gears and join the Magic team. I don't think Mearls is being dishonest or misleading on his job change, he's just describing things from his own point of view. I appreciate his work as a designer on the D&D team back in the day, and I [I]was[/I] curious to see what he does on his own presently. However, I agree with [USER=48965]@Imaro[/USER] that Mearls is giving off salty vibes towards D&D, which lessens my interest in his current and future work. The tweets (exes?) you posted give me even more reason to stop paying him any attention . . . when folks start complaining about "[I]participation trophies[/I]", I stop listening to them. [/QUOTE]
