[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9543984, member: 7034611"] no idea what they heard, so not sure why you think it is the ‘woke’ part that discouraged them. For that matter I know nothing about the game, so not sure if there is even anything in that regard it’s nothing, ‘old man yells at cloud’ seems to summarize it adequately. Even if every person in the US read it, it doubt it would have a measurable impact there I can at least see something potentially negative that is relatively widely accepted as such, the article does not really condemn WotC for ‘woke stuff’, it just reports that some grognards are complaining but ends with saying it is the right direction not sure I can parse that, so you defended them over the OGL? Guess we are on opposite sides of that too then… not sure what that argument is even about, I’d say WotC dropped the ball though, so there is no chance for a DLC / more money for WotC from that. Business wise that seems like a loss sure, but falling in line proactively to avoid that is the last thing we need. We should ignore that nutcase and he will do whatever he will do, no reason to kowtow to him on anything. I doubt he has any interest in buying WotC, so I am not particularly concerned yes, being inclusive and staying current is not one of them, and it has been ongoing for more than two years too… I’d argue none of the mistakes made much of a difference in the long run either. The biggest / only impact was the OGL fiasco, and even that ended up being minimal because they reacted fast enough So not seeing any negative impact from the 2024 changes either [/QUOTE]
