I'm really eager to see what angle he tries to use to spin this into a "The evil WOKE BRIGADE were mean to me" situation, given that all of the complaints were about him not paying freelancers and being a sanctimonious dick to the people he was working with.

Well, he resigned which means he left voluntarily, therefore they did not in fact ever "remove him." Thus, they are correct while also being gigantic assholes and complete morons!

Nope, they said it would be in their 'july update' for the avatar kickstarter, which they haven't done yet. Obviously it's impossible to do any announcement outside of that.

Every day there's an internal email at Magpie called "Has it blown over yet?" It would be pretty funny if they took the little Stone "I found myself innocent in the trial of Cancel Culture v. Muscle Beaker" thing as good enough and pulled the trigger now, though.

Well, this is pretty big news. Roll20 and OneBookShelf are... merging? Roll20 bought OneBookShelf? I can't tell for sure, this is like 0.5 on the Crane Wizardspeak scale, but it's pretty major regardless of the specifics. https://pressreleases.triplepointpr.com/2022/07/13/roll20-and-onebookshelf-joining-forces-gain-5-to-intelligence/

That makes some sense, Roll20 probably realizes it's going to get squeezed hard when WotC releases 6/5.5e or whatever in '24, on D&D Beyond(which they just bought), which judging by surveys is probably going to be adding a VTT component that it currently doesn't have. Mixed with DTRPG also probably realizing the same thing, as it'd be a pretty safe bet that Wizards is going to try to bring the DM's Guild marketplace that they teamed up with OneBookshelf for completely inhouse, on D&D Beyond. It gives Roll20 a massive amount of DTRPG content that already exists, and also for them hopefully gets people who frequent DTRPG/DMsguild to buy PDF's to maybe move to Roll20 if they aren't already using it for online VTT play.
