The Business: I Told You WOTC Pivoted To Vidya

All you naysayers can apologize now.

They are also part of Exodus, due in 2027 now.

They don't need to be hands-on. They just need to do much like they did with Baldur's Gate 3, maybe even less, and reap benefits far beyond what Tabletop can offer.

Remember, even the insufferable twats of Current Edition Tube had to admit that BG3 is bigger than Current Edition and thus brought in FAR more revenue for WOTC than Tabletop does. Even if these two aren't big hits, it's still better Return On Investment than Tabletop does.

Also remember that WOTC's big money maker is Magic, not D&D, and Magic already shifted to being digital-primary. The C-Suite knows where the competition is, and thus where the money is, and with it the clout; Tabletop is a necessary legacy operation needed to maintain control of the IP.

Expect more of this for D&D going forward as WOTC pursues a mainstreaming strategy. More videogames. More TV shows. More movies. More not-just-Tabletop under the Brand.
