I found a conversation complaining about Magic's story line during the March of the Machine set. The point of this convo was to complain about "SBI screwing up the invasion of the core belligerents in a way that made it entirely unbelievable because they needed to wrap up the story".
So there it is. I'm not sure how I missed this in the initial breaking of the SBI dam nor do I know why it surprises me to figure this out considering how faggy Magic and D&D have been in recent memory. Their tendrils apparently reach long and this probably explains why the list of just the games that they have touched caused the kind of reaction that it did.
Why would wizards need SBI? At this point they can train SBI to be even more woke.
The fact that paid consultants need to be brought in indicates that either the actual employees aren't as up on current woke as we thought, so they feel the need to hand it over to the experts, or that SBI acts like the mafia and demands protection money to protect games from hordes of twitter goons. Or both idk, they're not exclusive. I would go with the first one though. There's nothing that millennials love more than paying homage to their priests, I mean experts.
I'm fairly certain Wizards was a money laundering scheme for the mafia anyway, so SBI has a new light.
ding ding ding! it's a protection racket
That just sounds like racketeering with extra steps.
Grift and nepotism, likely.
i don't know whether they hired SBI before or after they make niko a tranny, or aragorn black.
Probably why Aragorn was made black.
i mean, mtg has been woke as fuck for ages so I'm not surprised
Wotc has been cancer for a long time, years before that.
Dungeons: The Dragoning 40k 7th seas edition is the only tabletop game for me.
I'm going to go ahead and blame black Aragorn on SBI for this one, nothing got me to quit MTG easier and faster than that.
Because no one knows what, exactly, "woke" means.
You race swap a character Black, and women complain. You sex swap them, trannies complain. You give them neo-pronouns, cripples complain.
So you hire a "consulting firm" that works with all the companies so everyone is doing the same thing and you don't get singled out.
Everyone supporting Woke, DEI, Equity, whatever is a coward and so they need to spread responsibility for any decision as thinly as possible.
I wonder if they caused black Aragorn in MtG?
They're 100% behind black Aragorn and the other race swaps in MTG. They're also behind the uglification of female characters and other censorship in cards' art. It's just what SBI does and once you're aware of the connection, it's obvious who was behind it.
Makes sense, but Wizards was woke before woke was a word. They were infected with the first wave of PC back in the '90s (a k.a. political correctness, or woke before intersectionality fully took over), and that cancer has been metastasizing within the company ever since.
it was obvious like a decade ago that MTG was infected by the woke mind virus
I found a conversation outlining how you're a lying provocateur trying to demoralize people by promulgating the idea that our enemies have their tendrils in literally everything. The idea is to get people to despair because if our enemies control everything then opposition must be pointless.
If this post is what demoralizes someone then I want that faggot on the other side
My point was that the "conversation" you "found" was a complete ass pull and there's absolutely no reason to believe a word you say.
Link that shit you lazy bones.
Standards around here have really fucking slipped.
Yeah, I know that was your point. Fortunately they have Wizards listed as a client on their front page. I'd like to thank SBI for covering for my complex ruse.
Do better than a complete fabrication next time.
No, I like you when you're angry
Fair.
Sweet Baby admits they work with Wizards of the Coast on their own website. It's one of the logos alongside Valve and a bunch of other companies. If noticing that is demoralizing, then it it is what it is, but there's no reason to deny the truth.

It's not the noticing I object to, it's the unfounded assertions of fact without providing one any reason to believe it. The complete collapse of this community's willingness or ability to document the things they find is a revolting degradation from its heyday and I think people should be actively belittled for their sloth.
Also it's an election year so unfounded claims should be disbelieved by default as enemy action.
A fair point in most cases, but I already posted evidence with that archive link.
This was so easy to verify by simply going to their company's website and seeing the Wizards logo that providing a link didn't even cross my mind. Once you started with the hyperbole I decided I wasn't gonna give you fucking shit.
Well, no, I lied. I did provide the Reddit convo that lead me to this discovery since that required more than a retard's level of agency to figure out.
