Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Considering WotC's prefered player base are statistically unable to cook, they certainly are strangely obsessed with cooking. They're like eunuchs who are obsessed with porn.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

This, along with the OneVTT are a bet.

Wotzi is betting that they can pull off what Blizzard did with Diablo Immortal.

The old audience, the group of fans that stuck with D&D through thick and thin don't matter.

What matters to Wotzi is can they monetize the new group of fans D&D has acquired in the past ten years?

One that lives off of vapid and twee engagement, one that has never known a game that has not had DLC and microtransaction content.

All the old Diablo fans HATE Diablo Immortal.

And Blizzard doesn't care. Because Diablo Immortal is a cash cow making money hand over fist.

Fuck the old fans. In with the cash cow lifestyle-brand new fans...

That's not the point.. the point is that it is successful. People are paying for it, no idea who or why... but a LOT of people are. So the hasbro chan thing is less a "WTF why are they doing" this and a more "why is not more companies doing it".

Looking forward to not seeing this 5e shit.

I still maintain that watching RPGs is not really a spectator sport. For me at least.

Watching makes me want to play instead.

Iirc Warhammer+ is currently losing money. Its just they poured a ton into it and they're trying to make it profitable.
