I don't think you thought this through, because this makes things a lot worse.This one individual--we'll call him Bob[1]--failed to get approval by either WotC's (or Hasbro's!) legal and financial departments but still spent company money to pay for the Pinkertons to find and intimidate Cannon and his wife into giving up the cards, which Cannon had legitimately paid for.([1] In my college games, unimportant NPCs were always called Bob Until Further Notice if the GM needed to come up with a name in a hurry. If someone named Bob works for WotC or was involved in this debacle, that's entirely a coincidence)So I'm sure that WotC then fired Bob for misusing company funds in a way that caused a major PR issue that's continuing to have repercussions even now. Or at least, forced Bob to make a public apology, stating that he was acting on his own without the company's knowledge or consent. Right?No? Well, if Bob was truly acting on his own, and WotC took no actions against him, then how can you ever trust WotC again? Their company is so badly run that anyone could be using their money for anything! It's the Wild Wild West in there.Or--and hear me out--WotC, as a company, made some really stupid decisions, and then offered their typical "mistakes were made" non-apology when they realized their customers were really unhappy with that decision.Also, somebody filming themselves doing something illegal and posting it to youtube is completely different. Youtube is a hosting platform. Unless they actually paid this person to fire a rocket into a house, the worst they can be accused of is not taking the video down fast enough--and even that's because they have to wait until the video gets flagged for whatever reason, because it's not like they hire people to watch every single video that gets posted.Edit: Welp, UngeheuerLich blocked me.</blockquote>
