Wizards of the Coast Releases SRD Under Creative Commons License (CC-BY-4.0)
A bit more context:<p>* Wizards of the Coast (WoTC) has been tasked by Hasbro (which owns WoTC) to drastically increase profits over a few years.<p>* WoTC has been aggressively increasing prices on Magic the Gathering (MTG) and drastically increased the diversity of products. This overwhelmed even people who follow and produce MTG news. Wallet fatique is rampant and people are disgruntled.<p>* WoTC releases the 30th aniversary edition for MTG, which is 60 random cards for 1000 $ which are officially marked as non-tournament legal. The MTG community is furious and for once people from all corners of the community come together to boycott this product. The rage is great and enduring.<p>* WoTC fails to meet expectations and the stock prices plummet<p>* To do damage control, WoTC&#x2F;Hasbro annouces a &quot;fireside chat&quot; for their shareholders where they try to explain the situation but basically just say &quot;we did nothing wrong and we are trying to extract a lot of money from Dungeons and Dragons next&quot;<p>* Unlike the MTG community, the DnD community is very good at organizing a unified response and the shitstorm came swiftly and took WoTC by surprise. (Don&#x27;t mess with Dungeon Masters who know how to call together a group of people)<p>The real problem is the managers at WoTC that don&#x27;t really care about the games. They only care about money. I expect more bad things in the future.
