Remember when we used to look over the fence at our Magic: The Gathering neighbors and think “ouch, they’re getting screwed. I hope WotC never does that to D&D”.

To my understanding (unless the biggest controversy of all is breaking right now), the current AI art scandal seems overblown and something WotC didn’t want to happen.
Honestly although this opinion is probably as controversial as anything could be on Lemmy, I feel the mult-language SRD release of 5e we’ve just seen is a bigger good positive than any negative since the beginning of the year with the original OGL drama.
In about April, I actually shifted my stance towards WotC from outright boycott to purchasing only the content that I felt sure I wanted. So far that has been 1 ticket to see the movie and Bixby’s guide to giants, which I really like. Currently nothing else on the roster this year is catching my eye, although I’m waiting on planescape reviews.
It may only be for PR but when a company actively tries to do good, they should be rewarded with some support. If they could fuck up once and be boycotted forever, then they have no incentive to fix their fuck up.
That’s a well balanced take, thank you. I still feel the subscription fight is only delayed, not over, but it’s good to applaud good behavior in a brand.
