news scoop: insider account of how the statement was drafted, and the fear-based culture in Wizards offices

[Snarf Zagyg]

Pretty poor analogy, since there are in fact lots of other places you can get a chicken sandwich.

And there's plenty of much more ethical places to get news.

Some people just choose not to.

Those folks could post their news on blogs, facebook, Mastodon, etc. Twitter is not the only social media out there.

Yes, they could. But they have not, which leaves people who want to know what they’re saying with no other recourse. As I said, we can certainly suggest they post these things elsewhere, but if Twitter is where the news is, Twitter is where one has to go to get the news.

I would count “firing employees who speak out about the situation” under “things WotC does,” personally.

That's fair. But... who?

And some places are the only places to get a particular type of chicken sandwich.

Not any more. Cook's Country just published a reverse-engineering of that particular kind of sandwich so you can make it at home.

Blogs, Facebook, and Mastodon don't have official government accounts, journalists, and freedom fighters in Iran and Ukraine all in one place.

Not for me! Personally, I never understood the recent "cult of the chicken sandwich," any more than I understood why someone would choose to get a sandwich from that particular place at that time.

But I am not everyone.

On the WotC and OGL situation? Where?

 

[Umbran]

Yes, they could.

And that's all I was saying. Twitter isn't unique - similar functionality can be had elsewhere. That's all. I was making no other assertion that needs countering.

This report from The Gamer just reiterates the same statements by Dungeon Scribe, DnD Shorts and Nerd Immersion. It is unclear if the outlet bothered to try and contact anyone else for confirmation.

Whoa, what!? Is this the "Pickle-Brined Fried Chicken Sandwiches" recipe that Google has turned up?
