Honestly, they were going about this the wrong way. The real way to take the money from the bastard is selling painted miniatures, customized action figures, and releasing multiple adventures in different formats. Eat GWS lunch. Start selling figures at their scale and style them so they'll fit into the WH40K aesthetic. You have the factories already with your other companies. Why not use them? Also an official MLP Dungeons and Dragons setting might be worth releasing in PDF form or even kickstarting it. If the suckers are dumb enough to give you their money why not do it? What other IP does Hasbro out and out own? GI JOE? You probably can't make it work in 5th edition but d20 modern is still a thing. A stupid thing. Release it in that. There are still weirdos out there playing that game. You should be trying to sell them new and better merchandise. Does Duel Masters have anything cool you can plunder? There are dozens of worlds in in Magic The Gathering you can sell as settings. You don't even have to commission new art for those.

I wonder if there's any juicy drama that has yet to be leaked about WotC's very-woke policy.

It's one thing to want to be inclusive, but around ~4 or so years ago WotC made a HUGE shift to try to be more woke: despite the fact that 90% of their playerbase are white men, they went far, far out of their way to make black women the face of their product and now about half of the cards in Magic: The Gathering feature black women. I am terrifically curious if any workers at WotC know if this is some bullshit big-corpo push to look "woke" or if it's an earnest attempt to do better (even though printing black women on cardboard will absolutely not attract more black women to play your game, so I have no idea why they're doing it).

It's probably because WotC is located just outside Seattle. They sell this stuff to marketing on the premise that it'll expand demographics, but really it's fetish art for white liberal PNWoids.

Yughio is a hoodrat urbanite game so they're probably trying to poach that demographic by having BBW

Yu-gi-oh players are the most vile group of people. Mix of libertarians, black weebs, and white trash racists.

I'd be banking on the "If my enemies are against something, then I am for it" if I were them. This kind of spun out of control for WotC but I was waiting for the "Only racist chuds are against the new license"...
