It's Hasbro. This is part of their Blueprint 2.0 strategy to monetize everything.
https://corp.hasbro.com/annual-report-2022
Maybe it's just years of labor organizing, but I'm deeply unsettled by this for some reason. Surrounding the consumers on all sides with crosshairs centered on them gives me a bad vibe.
Also, how easy it has to be to convince an average American that this is a good thing. That they want you to be at the center, because they care about you, or some other horseshit.
Welcome to late stage capitalism where air should be monetized at this point. You could make a lot of money paying people to breath and taking away all of the supply. Obviously we failed at something if the air is still free.
Was expecting Spaceballs.
Was expecting Lorax
The Lorax? You mean that character who sells SUVs?
The best way to keep the air clean and safe is to privatize it. Air owners will have a financial interest in keeping their air clean and can sue polluters. Meanwhile, government would just ignore (or at most monitor) pollution.

Also, if you subscribe to an air company, and die of carbon monoxide poisoning (along with hundreds of thousands of others) due to the company's non-existent self-regulation, then that's your fault for not doing your research.
and even if its the companys fault - in principle never, but just to be sure - you have to go through forced arbitration
Hasbro is uniquely shitty, and has/had multiple important individuals that are former pinkertons.
I'm still pissed at what they've done to my boy, D&D
We do have Pathfinder and 13th Age, both of which are better than 5e. They don't have the marketing budget though
Pathfinder 2 is sooo much better than DnD, especially if you want to GM any official campaigns/modules/one-shots. Paizo's writing on their adventure paths make it so easy to just jump in and run a game or pilfer encounters and piecemeal a homebrew campaign
Plus, the character creation, ancestries, and classes are so flexible that you can play almost anything you can imagine without having to homebrew anything. You want play as the Rat King from The Nutcracker? Sure. A goblin sapper from Warcraft 2? Easy-peasy. You want to play as C-3PO? No problem. Christ, you can play as the fucking Velveteen Rabbit if you want.
Flexible sure but not exactly easy. There's a lot of choices to make at every level and many of the feats have prerequisite, earlier feats so you functionally have to plan your entire expected progression up front.
You want easy? I got easy.
This is a deluxe version of a Tunnels & Trolls character sheet. You can actually fit a character sheet for T&T on an index card. It debuted around the same time as D&D and I still think it's a better system just by being so simple.
But then I am much more about story-driven games than the minutiae of combat, so YMMV.
Meh, T&T is a bit too simplistic for my tastes. Was a good option for solo gaming back in the day, though.
They said they wanted easy.
That's fair. I'd say it's easier on the GM, but asks more of the other players
edit: Plus, there are free digital tools for doing that planning that that are super robust and easy to use. I find myself using Pathbuilder to plan out characters I know I'll never have a chance to play.
There's also homebrew :P
And soooo many other games and genres as well
I thought that was a joke. Not a joke.
Corporate doesn't just want a lot of money, they want all of the money.
Crosshairs on people? Fine. crosshairs are on CEOs? panic.
