short resume possible because is 21 page and is long
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are legends of fantasy literature. they raised millions of fans into this genre like parents in the 30+ years of their prolific carriers.
When published their first book when young, they made a very bad contract that gave the copyright ownership of their work to the company, despite Dragonlance being de facto theirs.
when the company was later bought. the IP ownership was also bought
currently, wizard of the coast own Dragonlance IP, and their parent company is Hasbro.
M & T had limitations but were free still to write books and rolled in money so they never care seriously about tacking the IP backs in their hand. despite having ground to do so. (as it would be a titanic legal battle)
in short, they write, pay, and publish everything by themselves
but the company own IP and the rights to reviews and ask for changes. they need to give permission every time if M & T want to write a book. otherwise, M & T could get sued.
M & T want to write their final books, the sum of their carriers
they ask the company permission to write books. the company accept. this happen around 2017
M & T make a deal with a publisher. that will take care of printing and shit. not sure of the details but the publisher here pays M & T in exchange they get money when the books sell. (you read it down why this is important)
hasbro or wizard of the coast boomer ceo, whatever, have fell for the social justice trap. during the period from when the deal was made and now, the Company has increasingly removed old employees and hired absolute woke trash
For January 2020 first book of the trilogy is ready to be printed, but big batch of woke trash is hired, the old reviewers are fired and new reviewers are hired
Woke trash employees went on a total rampage over the company products, ban cards, place offense, and racism warning over everything printed so far. etc. you know the stuff you got from the news.
Woke review the new book of M & T again.
Woke demand change to wokenize it. and meet the new standards of sensibility reading (fucking jesus christ)
M & T really want to publish the book, so they cave to all the requests. (real kneeling 100). the story at this point is already ruined forever
The woke still deemed it not enough. actually, the woke deemed all the Dragonlance IP as problematic. they in truth don't want any more books to be published at all
Woke call M & T for a meeting.
Woke spit on their face that no book will be published
M & T reply that this is a breach of contract.
Woke pull out 3.000.000 IQ move and state that they have the right to request changes but if they physically never perform the request. the books will sit in a limbo not being published forever yet it would not be breach of contract. also claim that if M & T continue pressing they would be in breach of contract instead.
Woke also make back-deal communication with the same publisher M & T have a deal with for these books. in the fear of no books getting published the publisher, to cut their loss, stop sending M & T payments
On top of it, if no book is published. M & T get to be in breach of contract toward the same publisher. they would be liable for millions in damage.
Basically: literally who, woke trash tries to cancel legends of fantasy literature.
M & T has their lawyers reviewing this shit.
Lawyers report that is absolute bullshit. 100% breach of contract and they should be sued to oblivion.
M & T sue Karens of the koast for 30 millions damage and ask the judge to force them to objectively review the books and to not blocking the publications

Can't wait for them to WoTC to shutdown. Corona can't possibly be helping them much at this point either.
