[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8866997, member: 4348"] Which people are we talking about? The people at WotC, OR the people at Hasbro...and which people at Hasbro? The stock holders who impact decisions (those who collectively own up to 75% of the company together)? the CEOs, CFOs, COOs, other officers of the company..etc? The Board? Of those last three I can guarantee that you have those that DO study and watch and know all about the history of WotC and OTHER brands under the Hasbro umbrella, but I also guarantee there are those that do not go as in depth and are more concerned about the present than something that happened over a decade ago. However, you should also see who runs the entire show...I'd say he has a little familiarity with D&D (little being a slight exaggeration, he has a lot more than a little with D&D and MtG). Right now though, I think there are a FEW (meaning not most) people acting like chicken little rather than waiting to see what will actually be written. It probably won't be as bad as they all think, though there could be a chance that it is worse too. I really don't know. I think it's a wee bit too early to be able to say at this point. And lest you think it is only WotC that makes decisions, they DO occasionally take orders from people above them at the main company. Edit: Though most of this is probably being handled by their Legal department and some of the execs at WotC (IMO of course). This is probably also a BIG reason (or this is an extension of the start of the actions they are taking) of WHY they put who they did over the brands that they did just a short while back. [/QUOTE]
