Just a silly shower thought I had after hearing about Nintendo's copyright claim against Russ from Retro Game Corps.

I can't believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn't made by someone who would send thugs to your house!

In fairness, I still play 5e

I haven't given WotC a dime since that fiasco, though.

The last thing I bought from them directly was the R20 integrated Out of the Abyss digital campaign for me to DM with some friends.

We got halfway and it was kinda mid. I tossed a big ass boss fight at them along with the mid-game boss and it felt final enough.

Once it releases in full, we'll be a Cosmere RPG group for a good while.

People simply don't give a fuck. Unless the product isn't mediocre, they could bomb kids as far as they care (unless it appears as a scandal, and they feel morally pushed to move on)
