[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9038215, member: 7038835"] Eh... not really. Jeff Leason is old school TSR but anyone who knows who he is almost certainly knows about who he is etc, he's not exactly commanding a massive audience. [ATTACH type="full"]286788[/ATTACH] Ernie has had more impact since he's sort of taken up the role of being authority on Greyhawk, and has the Gygax name... like the full name, and his support basically will always trump Jeff's for the wider market - since most people in TTRPGs these days don't know the various personalities of the early days. Justin is pretty much now limited to reactionaries... most of whom hath forsaken him, and people who are absolutely clueless - who won't know who Jeff is or be impressed, and may briefly be impressed with Ernie after it's explained he's Gary's oldest son. Jeff can't end TSR any time soon, particularly now they've got hired hands to run the place and there's no evidence he has any way to use his theoretical "partner" status. He wasn't essential the early plan - Ernie, the house and the trademarks were. Ernie has been backing off, slowly (and with the option to come back and still doing PR for them) but Justin is now all in on the trademarks. His limit of contribution to products is he is allegedly the editor for Justin's game for toddlers, that is so unimpressive they're not restocking it. Justin also re-furbished the apartment that was supposed to be for Duck and decided it's better off as an AirBnB. I mean... he already [URL='https://twitter.com/wincenworks/status/1581075468517679104']publicly told Justin[/URL] it had to stop and Justin's response was "Whatever" [ATTACH type="full"]286789[/ATTACH] Tim Kask has also complained that he will not listen to people telling him about how some of the content is problematic etc, because he feels he knows better due to being there and Justin used one of his quotes to try to sell his stupid (forementioned) game for toddlers - people misunderstand things, particularly if they have people giving them a different narrative. A large part of reactionary "activism" is trying to rebrand to make their hate palatable and make the opposition look ridiculous etc. Duck's probably not the greatest person in the world, but let's not pretend that he's the foundation of TSR who can simply make the whole thing collapsing by removing himself, or that he's overloaded with other opportunities.
