Not wrong, per se, but a sign of some mismanagement possibly. Well, the way Wikipedia puts it: "TSR was approaching bankruptcy in early 1997 and in need of a buyer; Abramowitz and Dancey negotiated a deal to purchase TSR, which they brought to Peter Adkison of Wizards of the Coast, who purchased Five Rings Publishing along with TSR." They did not tell TSR that WotC was involved until everyone at TSR might face ruin if the deal fell apart. Not strictly wrong, maybe, but it is still a scuzzy corporate maneuver that would keep me awake at night personally. Dancey was in charge of the operation: Source: EN World <a href="https://share.google/abQdYJ1Jb8S0KgVgN" target="_blank">Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company</a>Yeah, that is all much worse.</blockquote>
