Wizards of the Coast, owned by Hasbro, has been upsetting their player base with their upcoming One D&D. This started a year or so ago when they attemped to nullify the Open Gaming Licence (OGL), originally created by Wotc to be similar to the GPL. The direction Hasbro is taking D&D is towards digital and micro payments, and they are moving away from physical books and DIY dungeon masters. The quality of the physical books is also very poor with perfect binding (glued) instead of stitched, and the books often start falling apart after even moderate use. I am sure the new version will be fine, but players will be funneled into paywalls to play.
