Hasbro-Wizards fired everyone in charge of the physical 5.5 Edition books in December. Why? What does it mean? PDM analyzes.Get The Tomb of Gyzaengaxx! http...
It was the D&D fiction team, not the D&D rules/game book team.
And they were part of the layoffs from Hasbro, not fired.
Frankly, considering the guy says in the video they were laid off and not fired AND this guy’s done this clickbait crap in the past, Hasbro/WotC should start sending C&Ds for defamation since they’re knowingly lying.

If this is true, I’d like to make a second follow-up post “hey that thing I posted was crap,” but I’m not real familiar with the people in this space or who’s trustworthy.
As if anyone’s been making the distinction between “laid off” and “fired” when talking about these corporate restructurings.
They lost their jobs. They no longer work there. That’s what they’re saying, and that’s what they’re trying to say. Words have different connotations in different contexts, and those contexts can be inferred by listening to the other words that they’ve said.
Yeah. It’s not real relevant to the core discussion but it seems like everyone involved has been saying “laid off in December”; I have no idea where the desire to debunk “fired” came from since I don’t think anyone’s saying fired (and yes the distinction will be a little arbitrary anyway if it turns out someone is saying it.)
To the wider point - I’m moderately convinced now that the video is, in fact, bogus; I’m just waiting to hear a little more and then if it seems like it checks out I plan to make a follow-up post with the right information.
@btmoo @Alphastream I think this is entirely bogus. Yiu also follow this, any insight Teos?
@darjr @btmoo Absolutely bogus.
@Alphastream @darjr @btmoo Got into a discussion about this on a Discord server.
