So, there's an aspect to all this that
may have something to do with what a lot of the companies (GW for example) are doing. Now, this ties into RPGs in a business way, so
Pundit please ponder the value of this before you shitcan me. If you're a corporation, then you have stocks. Stocks are bought and traded by stock brokers, and brokers have a particular scoring system (I can't recall the name of it at the moment) which they use to gauge whether or not a corp's stock is worth investing in. That scoring system has about three or four aspects... one is the environmentally friendly position of the corp... another is... what for it... how socially progressive the corporation is. Yes, that's an actual factor.
I suspect corporations like WOTC and GW are upping their desirability score with the brokers by making public statements, hiring diverse staff, and all the other pleasantries that go along with that sort of thing.
I mean... if I were on the board for a corp like that, I'd
consider it.
