Wizards of the Coast has a new president, John Hight -- the dude who was in charge of World of Warcraft at Blizzard. However, it sounds more and more like they’re going to double down on digital gaming, and this is part of the plan. To offset the hiring of a white dude, they announced that a former 2016-era HR manager would be returning to oversee DEI hiring. No, I’m serious. They couldn’t just announce a white guy as president of WotC without counterbalancing that Hasbro is still committed to diversity and inclusion. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Hasbro’s appointment of a new president for Dungeons & Dragons signals a potential shift towards digital gaming and outsourcing of tabletop games, potentially leading to a focus on valuable IP for games and movies and a shift away from physical media. 00:00 Hasbro appoints new president for Dungeons & Dragons, signaling potential changes in digital gaming focus. 02:39 Dungeons & Dragons is focusing more on digital and video games, potentially leading to outsourcing of tabletop games and a shift away from physical media. 03:59 Wizards of the Coast emphasizes diversity and inclusion after leadership changes, with a new Chief People Officer and VP of HR hired to ensure DEI. 07:31 Hasbro shifts focus to digital gaming, appoints new executives, and Dungeons & Dragons releases 5.5 edition with virtual tabletop for digital play. 09:32 Hasbro may outsource D&D production, potentially becoming an IP farm and being bought by another company, with a focus on valuable IP for games and movies. 13:17 The toy industry is shifting focus to adult collectors as kids today don’t have the same connection to toys as previous generations. 14:12 Hasbro may be turned into a video game company and then sold off for profit to investors who only care about making money. 15:29 Dungeons & Dragons is doubling down on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, but the speaker believes things may actually get worse.
