In my conclusion, I told them how they had broken 10+ years of trust in their stewardship of D&D in a matter of days, and how that trust would be nearly impossible to return. I went on to add that if they only went back before that, they would see that the brand-name wasn't strong enough to carry them alone. Their decisions to funnel everything into a monopolized, digital system is what led to the end of their 4th edition, but at least then they were being honest about their intentions. The obfuscation and deceptive messaging actually remind me more of the final days of TSR, when again, they had turned the gaming community at large against them.
