″ Recently there has been rumors of a move to disallow the DM screen, a folding barrier which allowed the DM to conceal things like maps of areas yet unseen by players or detailed character sheets for NPCs. ”
Interestingly, co-creator of D&D Dave Arnesson experimented with a DM screen so big he was invisible to the players to see if that increased their immersion. He saw it as a tool for the players. He also didn’t always give players their character sheets, for the same reason, always looking for ways to make the player have a better experience. It is interesting that everything Hasbro is exploring they are seeing as having an opposite effect as the creators.
An interesting overlap between your two positions is archived on the page with the most downvotes of all time.
#3 is Roll20 the largest VTT virtual tabletop for people to play games online. The short version of how it be the largest scandal in reddit history as ranked by downvotes is that the owner of roll20 was a mod on his own company’s channel in violation of reddit policies, and banned people for criticism of his products. When someone actually tried to help him and got banned the owner made a post insulting him for asking for help. Reddit cleaned up the situation after it got this big. But the wider community never heard about it and didn’t care. Nothing changed long term.
Based on this, I really don’t think users care about how reddit is managed in any meaningful way. A small loud minority maybe, but I give it >67% the average user will not care or even learn that AI has taken the mod jobs. Reddit will just continue on like nothing happened.
