Jan last year they were going to destroy the 3rd party D&D content creation ecosystem (it was legally debated whether they could anyway) it caused a mass boycott of D&D content and all 3rd party creators (including Critical Roll) to start diversifying. It went on for two weeks, only finally causing them to rollback on it because a campaign to cancel all ongoing D&D beyond subscriptions made them take it seriously.

They've been pushing to make a closed garden platform vtt for all their first party digital content, that it seems they've just started to rollback on.

Prior to that they've been consistently milking and trying squeeze the D&D playerbase and MTG community in more and more shitty and exploitative moves.

To say that community good will and faith in them is below zero is not an exaggeration. The main hardcore community have a very jaded and negative view of Wizards and Hasbro. Really to learn more I recommend crawling through YT of all the news. There's just no way to do it justice here.
