Yes and as I pointed out they're doing this at a time when many other multinationals are turning away from wokeness. But Hasbro seems determined like a few others to sink with the ship
What I am wondering about is why Luke Gygax and the Gygax family and the Arneson family for that matter is putting up with all the slander to the memory of there fathers . I find there silence on this upsetting . I know that if it was my father 's memory and life's work I would be pissed and would be looking to sue the shit out WOTC and Hasbro .....
As I pointed out in the video, the problem is that they weren't publicizing the fact that this was an attack on original D&D. So I'm sure some people bought it for the historical material, and were horrified to see what WotC thought of them.
There are horrible, sinister people out there, who are lauded, even cast in bronze. Alfred Kinsey regularly corresponded with nonces, taught them how to collect certain "unique and valuable" data I better not write down (look for his table 34 if you dare), protected them from the law and even praised them for providing said data for his books. How is Gygax worse than him for talking about most girls disliking dungeon crawls, exploration and battle mechanics and creating a Eurocentric game in a country, that was overwhelmingly European-American in the 1970s and 1980s? Women weren't excluded, that is an outright lie. They were there from the very start, typing, playtesting, watering the office plants, etc. But they were rare. The only chicks, who played before Vampire came out were tomboys and chicks obsessed with Tolkien. I sort of remember the looks I got just for reading fantasy novels. It only changed after the LOTR Trilogy and GoT took the world by storm and the genre was suddenly in. And D&D was getting more diverse per year, with Arabic, African, Asiatic and Mesoamerican locations added to its worlds, but it was never enough for certain people, and these supplements are considered problematic now, because they were written by White people.
I commented on this earlier today on Tenkar's channel, I'll repost here: You know, if anyone does want to buy this book [the 50th anno book], take a tip from the Harley Davidson debacle of late--when Harley started with the wokistry, Harley owners removed all the logos from their motorcycles and mailed them back to Harley HQ. A lot can be done with a straightedge and razor to those 2 offending pages, and WotC has a mailing address on their website. Just sayin'.

The anniversary book was being sold for $100. It's now 50% off, and people are promoting it, asking people to buy it to show that chud Elon. Some people are saying it's only 50% off due to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but others are saying it's because of Hasbro's liquidation fire sale and them trying to vacate to Boston.
I take that as a sign that enough people learned what the book did and chose not to buy it, or just wouldn't trust present-year WotC to begin with. So, good news.

5 minutes of ads and crap before you start talking about the subject to the video is bullshit. Channels that waste my time like that on a regular basis get unsubbed and forgotten.

Sorry you feel that way, but I'm a game designer first, and many (most) of the people who follow me are not just gamers but people who have been interested in my games since before I had a youtube channel.

Wonder how many of the books they sold? I would assume the market interested in the book would be the older players he has crapped on.

Change "Normal D&D Gamers" for True D&D Gamers and the title will be accurate.
How is normal D&D gamers not the correct term?
Normalcy is not mediocrity, in some sense normal is now extraordinary
11:50 What class is Jason Tondor. Is he not white, a man, and middle class, shouldn't he be by his claim evil?
Yes, but as Kyle Brink demonstrated if you are a white leftist and remind people constantly of how evil white people are then you get a special pass.

It's not worth giving them money.
I actually thought about doing that because otherwise, I'd really like that book.
Not a bad idea. But buy the book secondhand so Hasbro gets zero monies.
