who thought it was a great idea to send the pinkertons that took away peoples farms for railroads? Tortured and killed irish communities in early america? Harassed our natives?
What line do we cross with wotc that has them send armed men to torment our spouses and children over stupid cards?
what if someone pulls meta from your new vrt? Threaten to shoot them?
what if we dont like the new license?
does hasbro not like revenue? Does wotc? Who keeps making these decisions needs to be fired. I wont buy more stocks or dnd merchandise until there are changes at the top.
What happens if you pull meta from ANY owned site, especially one with copywritten material, for personal gain... you get a cease-and-desist letter. Failure to rectify your actions can (will) lead to a lawsuit forcing you to comply with the law. Just ask anyone who's ever tried to use the name Margaritaville in their store.
If even half of what I've heard about the Pinkertons in the last 24 hours is true, then I'm honestly shocked that anyone would hire them without expecting serious backlash. What the **** was WOTC thinking?
“Wizards confirmed to Polygon the Pinkertons were involved in the incident. The presenter at oldschoolmtg described agents as “big heavy-hitter guys” who frightened hiS wife.
The Pinkertons arrived with contact information for someone at Wizards of the Coast and, after speaking with them, the presenter said they made the decision to pull their original videos down.
“He was very apologetic about making my
wife
cry first thing in the morning by sending these heavy-duty lawmen [to] come collect stuff and talk about stolen products and jail time,” the presenter said in the video. “But they don’t believe we stole anything — which we didn’t. I don’t know if they believe anybody really stole anything or if it was just an accident or whatever. But they wanted the product back so they could try and figure out where the hole was so they could plug the hole.”

It is amazing how they are willing to lose millions or billions in future sales by greed to make a few extra now short term.
they need new leadership or it will train wreck from here

Stop threatening. Do. Cancel your subscriptions, stop buying products, move on *now*.
What more does WotC have to do to turn some of you away?
I had cancelled, when they made the license better i uncancelled, now will be cancelling again
I guess raise price on Beyond a lot. Then it would not be worth it.
honestly insane to even consider hiring the pinkertons in this century, knowing who they are
it's almost like wotc is actively trying to make everyone hate them
