    I feel like you could still make hella profit if you gave people what they ask for instead of ignoring them.

    Like instead of firing all your workers to save money on wages, you let your artistic people cook and do what you fucking hired them to do instead of sticking your corpo hands into it and making it a bland piece of shit nobody wants.

      You could still make hella profit, indeed. but when you are as big as WotC and, more importantly, Hasbro, hella profit may not be enough to make more profit than previous fiscal year. Shareholders only care about growth, not ethics.

      Yeah. Start by chopping any seven figure (or more) executive salaries in half, then rehire all those people who actually create products for the company. Then go back to making products people actually want rather than overpriced collector sets of material with almost no actual content in them or turning preexisting products into subscription based services. Coming up with new stuff is one thing but when you have literally fifty years of history to see what people like from your primary products it shouldn’t be difficult to not alienate a massive customer based.

        And on the way shareholders fire you for not doing what other companies are doing, or exert pressure to force you to adopt the practices they want because they heard they bring profit
