Hasbro? The ones who sent gones to someone’s house and fuck them up because they accidentally got a pre release version of magic the gathering? Yeah they probably will fuck it up.
Don’t just say “goons,” say Pinkertons. Actual literal union organizer murdering Pinkertons. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast sicced those Pinkertons on a children’s card game reviewer for the crime of telling people about something they received in the mail.
In other news, 5e.tools is a great resource containing all official 5e content, in a convenient easily navigable website. Personally I prefer the mobile interface, but the desktop is great too.
The fantastic thing about Pathfinder is that all the rules are released to the public, so things like this are completely legal, and thus we get a lot more of them than D&D gets. We’ve got Pathbuilder for creating character sheets, as well as the Pathbuilder encounter builder for GMs (as well as numerous other character and encounter builders—I just like these because they integrate with each other), Archives of Nethys for a very user-friendly rules reference, and on and on and on.
In D&D you have to rely on expensive tools with special deals with WotC (by the gods I hate Beyond and their double-dipping “pay a fixed price for content and a subscription for app features” business model—though the creators behind Beyond have gone ahead and done the same thing for Pathfinder with Nexus, if you happen to like their UX) or ones willing to basically pirate content and hope that WotC’s lawyers can’t get it taken down, like 5e.tools.
because they accidentally got a pre release version of magic the gathering?
It was a streamer that got the pre-release boxes early by mistake, and live-streamed opening them to drive traffic to his channel. Most cards aren’t revealed ahead of time so these leaks let potential pre-buyers see what was in the set and decide if they wanted it.
What he did was stupid, but he did nothing wrong, and nothing especially harmful.
Calling the Pinkertons on him was obscene on principle, but it was especially egregious when the damage was so minimal. They hurt themselves more with that stunt than the leaks hurt them.

Not goons, Pinkertons, like Wild west union busting Pinkertons.
Continuing to be amazed that the Pinkertons both still exist and are still up to their old tricks. Nothing is ever learned.
Yeah them, thanks forgot there actual names.
They sent the god damn Pinkertons
The overtly evil FBI wannabes that are in the the Red Dead games

There’s also a Pathfinder 2 version for those inclined.

5e.tools is a hydra. You’re free to download the entire thing and host it yourself. If Wazi decides to take it down, a dozen more will take its place
