This is possible. What is more likely though is that Wizards of the Coast leaked the documents themselves, and several lines in the article suggest it. But anyways, that does seem... Like it would be a really stupid move by Wizards. So I dunno.
The OLG wasn't the only thing leaked though. Other internal communications have been leaked and at least one anonymous source inside WotC has been talking to the media. There is a whistleblower, apparently fairly high up, in the company that is leaking this information.
This person needs to be found, charged with industrial espionage, immediately fired, and then sued for damages caused by their unauthorised press releases - including all the loss of profits and everything else. Then, if at all possible, they need to be prosecuted.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do things, and they chose the wrong way, the inconvenient way, which has caused significant harm to their employers, the company and its shareholders. As well as embarrassment and damage to the public image of the D&D brand, Wizards of The Coast, and Hasbro.
There are rules for a reason. There are laws for a reason. Someone who breaks the rules, and violates the law, be that criminal law, public law, or corporate law, deserves to be punished.
In many countries being homosexual is illegal and punishable by death. In certain countries being a member of certain religions (or not being a member of the "right" religion) is illegal and punishable by death. You should probably do a reality check when it comes to what the perfection of laws.

Yup. The plain fact that Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are "enemies of the state" in the U.S. shows how messed up the attitude toward Heroes is.

It's not the arrow with my name on it that worries me. It's the arrow that says, "To whom it may concern".
With an extra thousand layoffs at Hasbro definitely seems like the only person winning is their shareholders
Their share price has been steadily dropping for the last several years. That is usually a reason to do something. Not taken any deep looks at their longer term comparative financials though.
That puts Hasbruh's business acumen at the top under more glaring scrutiny from anyone's perspective. My feeling on this entire stupid episode is that what has been spurting out of WoTC is actually a result of pressure from Hasbruh.(Much like the internal debacle that occurred at Blizzard once Activision got their grubby hands on it...resulting in what I call AcTard). With Hasbruh exerting it's negative influence on WoTC, we can expect more terrible "ideas" to stream down like corporate effluent from Hasbruh's boardroom. I also have a feeling it's what resulted in the mess that's been created with Magic the gathering as well.

Make WotC Repent for their sins against DDB community!
I agree, but not at the expense of the people who have literally made D&D their life's work. They're on our side. That was my whole point of the post.
