D&D 5E WotC has updated the Hadozee glide ability on DnDBeyond

oh I am not. In fact I would argue a small 'mom and pop' could turn around faster then a big company... I just can't believe people would call Hasbro/Wizards a small company

In fairness, it's also possible for Hasbro/Wizards to be a very large company, while the D&D team within it to be small and stretched thin - I actually have no idea what their staffing is like, but it's entirely possible.

And I revised my statement, to be a bit more clear.

Some quick searching suggests that Wizards has something over 1000 employees. The D&D unit, itself, is likely far smaller.

Instead of arguing about when and where the errata should be released how about discussing the fact that it's even needed. This was so obviously broken that you have to question how it ever made it through. Clearly they aren't bothering with any sort of playtesting. And who's writing this material?? Do they even play the game??
This may be the worst product that WotC has put out. The quality of thier content has been in steady decline for awhile now. This doesn't bode well for One DnD. Be sure to fill out all of thier surveys since this just proves they need player input to even get the obvious things done right.

yeah I assume D&D has less then magic, and both have less (by themselves) then the shared bureaucracy supporting them (advertising, legal, HR, management, custodial, programmers ect) but I would be hard pressed to believe D&D dedicated is less then 100, let alone less then 50.

we know they play the game
it not only got internal playtest but a UA... and the problem was identified early in the UA. they didn't change it for print.

the real problem is, do they listen to the playtest feed back?

According to the US Small Business Administration, a "small business" is one with fewer than 500 employees.

so by the small business admin they are not in fact a small company. Thank you (I never remember the exact numbers... I know WWE gets around it by having everyone be contractors not employees)

Well regardless, it's good to see that WotC has stopped monkeying around when it comes to the issue involved with glide.

They didn't do an errata for other books like this. Just 1. One isn't a trend.

Yeah, sure, I guess you can take that view. On the other hand, it's the most recent book, and this is the first errata we've got since One D&D was announced.

But not the first opportunity for Errata since they purchased Beyond
