The question is discussed in this podcast episode.

Cynthia Williams is out at WotC, which begs the question: If you were hired as the new CEO, what would you do to right the ship of game and sail us all to safer waters?

D&D is fine… do you mean save WotC?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

@bradorsomething @copacetic WotC still owns the vast majority of D&D. The CC-BY release of the 5.1 SRD isn't even all the core books of one edition... and we had to shout at them in order to make them release even *that* much, and not just the bits they didn't think they could defend in court as a PR stunt.

In our current socioeconomic climate, I'm not sure anyone who'd *buy* D&D off of WotC's corpse would want to *save* D&D like WotC did two decades ago, as opposed to copyright trolling.
