Who the hell needs sleeves now? They should be smart and partner with WOTC to make custom card backs for our digital decks in MTGO.

As Corporations go, Hasbro is pretty cool. Unlike many other toy companies, they actually listen to and evaluate the input of the fans of their various toylines. Changing to that model actually saved their asses in the 90's as it increased sales. They are by no means perfect, but they are miles better than most other toy companies. The only major toy company I know off that has better ethics is LEGO.

As profound as confession and repentance can be, they don't necessarily preclude consequences, even when they're accepted with grace and forgiveness.

Entirely sensible, good decision on UltraPro's part. Bradley can't just make an apology and all is forgiven. He has to work for it. In the meantime (that is, if he ever redeems himself), it is good ethics for businesses, and other groups, not to platform and support him. Bradley isn't entitled to anything from WotC or UltraPro.
Open and shut case here.

Hopefully losing ties with two companies he previously worked for is enough of a motivation for him to change his ways. He'll have to work quite hard to show that he's changed for even to be considered to be given forgiveness. Rightfully so, the kind of behaviour he's shown is quite appalling.

Lol he is done for life. This isn't some Mike Tyson level person that can just get a pass for being a convicted rapist. This is a nobody that makes art for a game that nobody of importance cares about. From here on out he will have to get whatever work is allowed for people that do these kinds of illegal things...

Corporations are run by people, people usually have ethics, or in the case of the owners of EA and FOX News, lack them completely.

@motleyslayer

yeah, he did terrible things. Many unfortunate victims.

looked at his twitter, the apology posted there had at least a thousand likes, although most of the comments are negative.

Everyone who supports your opinion has ethics. Everyone who doesn't, doesnt. Seems legit.

Look up what EA has done and continue to do to smaller game studios like Westwood, Bullfrog and Maxis.

As for Fox "News", it is a right wing propaganda channel that has been banned in multiple countries because it is a right wing propaganda channel and doesn't deliver enough actual news to be considered a news channel.

So Fox is propaganda and CNN is real ETHICAL news? If no, would you mind giving an example of an ethical news organization for a basis of comparison? Seems like the stations that support your views are coincidentally also the ethical ones.

Reuters is a pretty good one.

That's just BBC news. How about an American news channel?
