This just reeks of desperate MBA energy who, instead of trying to develop their own products and IP further, just see that Critical Role is selling a lot of merch and desperately want to rent seek on it. This is probably Hasbro slitting the stomach of the goose trying to get the golden eggs. They had essentially infinite long term revenue of people buying D&D rulebooks (myself and many of my friends included). Now most people in the community know the fundamental integrity of WotC is compromised by suits and feel slighted, tabletop RPGs is just too small of a space to get away with shady business. Personally I'm never buying a WotC product again.
