Pet peeves: The return (Part 4)

Dude bought card packs, recieved unreleased card packs with similar name, dude makes video unboxing and showcasing cards not knowing they were unreleased cards, WOTC sends pinkertons to his house over it.

The card packs he got were apparently stolen and scheduled to be released in 3-weeks time.

To add to this, apparently the union busting intimidation gang were “very polite” (:roll_eyes:) and gave him a contact at WotC, who spoke to the dude and said they might look into some sort of compensation for him.

It is always morally correct to pirate WotC’s products.

Wasn’t even the guys fault either, the one who SENT him the card packs gave him the wrong one by mistake because the names were so similar.

hahaha the bribe is so real

Wish they’d bribe me to stop the merger tbh. If other people are on the take, why can’t I be as well?

Better yet, take the bribe then expose them for bribing you

Take the bribe, threaten to expose the bribe unless they bribe you more.
Money glitch.

Infinite money hack

WoTC is a seriously, hilariously saturday night villain company.

They also scour the internet for D&D character sheets that let you fill out all the options with their help, as well as PDF copies of their books; all so people go to D&D Beyond and pay a few years of WoW subscription worth to be able to make a character sheet with all the options they want, just to have that character die three sessions into the D&D campaign.

Meanwhile, other TTRPG franchises like World of Darkness just let you do that for free, and they straight up give you the PDF for free to share with your friends and anyone that you want if you buy a physical copy of their books.

It’s hillarious but also very very sad that they do it like this.
But unfortunately they have the lawyer power to do so :pensive:

Guy legitimately buys a physical product that he doesn’t know was stolen.

Corporation sends the freaking Pinkertons to protect its precious iNtElLeCtUaL pRoPeRtY.

They also demand he deletes his videos from the Internet because it’s totally possible and will in no way backfire.

:flag_us: :+1:

100% bet they’ll eventually try and go for the Youtubers who’ve covered the incident like penguinz0 (Moistcritical/Charlie), it just feels like a move they’d do.

Of course they will, anything for money eh

On that note, I weep for all the trees that got sacrificed because of WotC forcing people to buy paper copies of D&D books when digital ones would have sufficed (and would be more convenient to search in the middle of a game).

WOTC really could just make such easy amounts of money by cooperating with DnD creators who usually create campaigns featuring hundreds of new monsters, items, actually useable maps for online and real-life play and tokens.

You mean Energybending.

Also a shame that the forums returned i thought Blizzard has just got tired of us and decided to remove the function.

I was trying to figure out if it was the general forums, story forums or the French that were the last straw.

If anything it would be us. They removed popular topics because of us.

I consider us at least somewhat more entertaining and slightly less repetitive than the others.
However our wants for actual ingame moderation by humans may be very unpopular. And the same exact people having slap fights in every bigger thread does tend to get a bit tiresome to scroll past.
But no one’s perfect.

Worked myself up to watching the finale of Owl House and am now having a small cry about it, it was so wholesome and nice waaaaaaa

Also finished Pillars 1, some great themes explored especially when the DLC expands on it but one ending slide going ‘oh did we not tell you about this quest that happened? guess this entire town died lmaooooo’ did put a big dent in things. Gonna have to fix that for 2 for sure
