Ryan Dancey speculates on WotC's digital initiative

[Krypter]

Ryan Dancey, a former D&D brand manager and guru of the OGL, has updated his blog in regards to the death of Dragon and Dungeon.

More speculation about what WotC's digital initiative might look like in this ENWorld thread.

He's not happy:

"What I see happening is the exact opposite of what I would do if I were running the business. What Wizards is doing is implementation without a public roadmap. They have not sought to educate their customers -- they’re acting like TSR of old did, doing what they think is right, and assuming that their customers will be dragged along with them because they don’t have any viable alternatives."

Hey it works for Games Workshop. I wonder why it works for them but didn't work for TSR?

It prolly works cuz Games Workshop has a smaller fan base than Dungeons and Dragons.....
