"Williams held the position for over two years and was involved in some of the company’s biggest highs and lows, with her tenure seeing the release of the D&D film Honor Among Thieves and the blockbuster video game Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as ushering in a wave of fan backlash following the OGL scandal."
They had little to nothing to do with BG3. The development process of a movie, including approving of a screenplay, takes longer than two years, leaving her responsible for...
Oh. Yeah.
The reason I abandoned the company. Or at least one of the avalanche of reasons.

She had more of a hand in Magic the Gathering's recent push to make as most product as possible, as well as the incredibly awful Magic 25th anniversary celebration idea of $1000 packs of proxies.
She sucked, and whoever comes next will be worse.

She will probably just be replaced by some other corporate ghoul forced by Hasbro to do anything to raise profits. It's where every company is going.

Was thinking exactly this. Both films and video games - especially one the size of BG3 - take far longer than a couple of years to come to fruition which means the only thing she had a hand in was the OGL and every other small-to-medium controvery I've only really heard about through One Shot Questers' round up videos. Burn the witch.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have no images in an article than waste the time, energy and computing power on throwaway AI images.
As for the article, I think they're giving her a lot of undue credit for things where the only value she added was by abstaining from being involved.

Leaving to join the Pinkertons?
