Over the past few years it has become obvious that WotC has a problem. There have been several times recently where they do something stupid and/or terrible (Hadozee, OGL, copyright strikes against YouTubers covering the new PHB, and now this), then there’s a public outcry from the community, and then they (normally) backpedal and reverse the stupid thing they did to get people to stop yelling at them. Then everyone forgets about it until a few months later when WotC does something else that makes everyone angry again and the whole situation repeats.I’m starting to think, just maybe, WotC has an addiction to bad PR. It’s just a theory, but it would explain their weird consistency in repeatedly generating extremely avoidable and idiotic controversies. They must get high off of making the community mad. I don’t get it, it’s not my thing, but maybe it just makes them feel in control. Or like someone is listening to them for once.I shudder at the thought of what will happen if we allow this viscous cycle to continue for too long. If anyone knows of a 12 step recovery program that could help, please send it to WotC’s management ASAP. We need to stage an intervention before it’s too late.</blockquote>
