D&D has been in WotC hands for 28 years and in the hands of Hasbro for 26 years. And it's not as if the time under TSR was all that great either, especially there at the end...We liked Basic D&D at the time, we liked AD&D2e at the time, we liked D&D 3e at the time, we didn't like 4e, but D&D 5e (2014) we liked, and we see D&D 5e (2024) as an improvement over all. While I like some aspects of 3e, the overall feel of the D&D 5e (2024) is better. I do like certain 2e and 3e settings better then how they are presented in 5e, but as I have access to all that old material, not really an issue for me...As we have access to all of the old (pre 5e) material in relatively cheap pdf. Hasbro could F-up D&D again and most of us would shrug their shoulders. Especially us 'old timers' need to realize that the current D&D isn't being made for us that started back in the 80s (or even earlier), it's being made for more current generations. You can complain, but the reality is that in a couple of decades we won't be around anymore, our existence nothing more then a memory. I've heard similar complaints from old timers that complained about TSR and 2e in a similar vein. D&D is 51 years old, older then most of us, it has had different custodians, it will have new custodians in the future...If you really want to liberate D&D from Hasbro, go earn $10.5 billion and buy Hasbro. Otherwise, just get to grips with reality.</blockquote>
