TSR, which was the company that originally made D&D got bought by Wizards of the Coast, which made Magic the Gathering. Then Wizards got bought by Hasbro.

Every product you love has been acquired by a large company that got bought by a larger company and then turned to shit. Until the government stops blocking mergers and acquisitions, this trend will continue.

Let's stop pretending T$R was a bastion of consumer values.

IDK, I think this take is more "It went from bad to worse" rather than "TSR was a bastion of consumer values".

More like, a bunch of greedy folks overreached and lost their business to another bunch of greedy folks who sold to another group of greedy folks.

At least we don't have a splat book coming out every other week these days.
