I don't play RPGs enough to get entirely personally wrapped up in this, but I know a whole lot of people who do, and it's been stunning to see just how quickly Wizards of the Coast blew off their own feet here. No one trusts them to do the right thing, nor should they. This is a classic "we're sorry we got caught" situation, and everyone one in that space knows it.

I am very far out of that space, and I'm genuinely upset-by-proxy how bad this is for so many people. It's just a straight up torch of all goodwill. I'm slightly more bothered that -some- people are going with the stance of 'Well, not giving them money at all would require me to spend a tiny bit of effort, so...'
We'll see how this all resolves.
@scalzi
Well. This is an interesting take.
