This article shows us how utterly clueless Hasbro was in regards to the Sigil VTT.

While everybody expected Sigil VTT would make its money through endless stream of micro-transactions, Hasbro apparently thought a VTT was like a regular GI Joe action figure toy -- once you design it, you can have money rolling in with no additional cost or effort.

When they finally learned that's not how VTT works, they lost interest. 😂😂😂

Imagine Chris Cocks' poor DM having to put up with all the Cool Shit he makes with AI for his characters (AI voices... Really!?).

But he's a millionaire and probably the boss of everyone at the table so I'm guessing their reaction is

"Rad stuff bro! You should make more of this shit! And talk to mainstream journos about leveraging AI to extend the brand's reach yo!"
