When bad stuff happens like this and other similar stuff has happened that's what people jump to, whether or not it's the truth. You have to manage this stuff because crap like this spreads like wildfire and the perception of the company is affected, again no matter what is actually happening. Like I said it's easy to jump to conclusions when you start thinking about it. Again it doesn't make sense to say "Wizards did GREAT with 5e, it's selling AMAZINGLY! Let's lay off our staff!". Makes no sense, so whatever DID happen, doesn't matter, it LOOKS bad and that's something that needs to be addressed quickly by the company. Unfortunately if I were to guess what's going to happen, I'd say wizards isn't going to say a damn thing about it if the past is any indication. So I agree with you, maybe its something else. Maybe it's not what we think. Sad fact is that it rarely matters in this case. Look at project morning star. We have no idea what happened there, but when they severed connections with wizards and they tried to make a comeback the negative perception had already spread and the nails in the coffin began to be hammered as made evident by their kickstarter. Public relations needs to be made by these companies and few take it seriously from what I have seen. They rather keep quiet than explain what has happened.</blockquote>
