"Williams held the position for over two years and was involved in some of the company’s biggest highs and lows, with her tenure seeing the release of the D&D film Honor Among Thieves and the blockbuster video game Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as ushering in a wave of fan backlash following the OGL scandal."

They had little to nothing to do with BG3. The development process of a movie, including approving of a screenplay, takes longer than two years, leaving her responsible for...

Oh. Yeah.

The reason I abandoned the company. Or at least one of the avalanche of reasons.

She had more of a hand in Magic the Gathering's recent push to make as most product as possible, as well as the incredibly awful Magic 25th anniversary celebration idea of $1000 packs of proxies.

She sucked, and whoever comes next will be worse.

Welp. Since Hasbro overall seems intent on running its properties into the ground, I have little doubt the next one will continue the cycle of enshittification. I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt it.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have no images in an article than waste the time, energy and computing power on throwaway AI images.

As for the article, I think they're giving her a lot of undue credit for things where the only value she added was by abstaining from being involved.
