[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9426784, member: 8461"] You're engaging in quite a bit of spin yourself, in all honesty. He might have thought that the policy was ethical and fair, but you don't have to be unfair or unethical to be draconian, which strikes me as a perfectly valid way of describing a policy that drives your staff to quit. This is something of a half-truth. To quote from [I]Slaying the Dragon[/I]: Now, Easley went to work for TSR in 1982, and the book doesn't say exactly how "soon after" his arrival that policy changed. But that it changed back during a period that was unquestionably during Williams' tenure is notable, and while Riggs does note that artists were given a raise to try and offset that this new policy hurt their income (since they made a lot of money selling the originals), Easley notes that "the artists were not too happy about it anyway."
