“In total, the Company spent an aggregate amount of approximately $125 million to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of its own common stock at artificially inflated prices from April 2022 to July 2022,” according to the plaintiffs, who are being represented by Sarah Maneval and Saadia Hashmi of The Brown Law Firm in New York City. Affiliated local counsel is Higgins, Cavanagh, and Cooney.

“In total, this caused the Company to overpay for repurchases of its own stock by approximately $55.9 million," the lawsuit maintains.

    It was the OGL fuckery a few years ago for me, but the huge drop in quality of released material didn’t help. Spelljammer 5e was a joke.

    At this point the only reason to stay with the system is nostalgia or stubbornness. There are better systems for any use case.

      The OGL was what got me and my other forever DM buddy to drop D&D. He picked up PF2e and I went SWADE. It’s a double-edged sword to be proven right regularly with their actions. We started on 5th edition, which I regularly told people was basically what everyone wanted 4th edition to be, and then it just like fell apart. It was a system that could have been fixed, really it just needed some balance changes. But they decided to make it a corporate problem .

      That’s what got me to switch too. I found a really great group and we have a blast together so it ended up being really good for my gaming experience anyway.

      I will admit to still running one shots on occasion when there’s someone missing, but it hits different now that I’ve had experience with other systems. I still feel the most comfortable throwing together a one shot with no prep in DnD, but even so I can manage without it just fine.
