WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Gale Force Nine, LLC, having set forth the above fact and having alleged the above first through third causes of action, prays for judgment against Defendant Wizards of the Coast LLC as follows:
1. Judgement for monetary damages against Wizards in an amount to be proven at trial, and which on information and belief, is in excess of $950,000.00;
2. An award of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by GF9 in prosecuting the foregoing claims against Wizards;
3. For declaratory relief finding that GF9 has not breached the 2017 Agreement for the breaches alleged by Wizards in its November 9, 2020 notice of breach;
4. For permanent injunctive relief restraining Wizards from:
a. Terminating the 2017 Agreement for the breach of contract alleged in its November 9, 2020 notice of breach;
5. For any other costs, including interest, authorized by law; and
6. For such other relief as the court may deem just and equitable.

It will be disappointing if the GF9 partnership is terminated. The company produces a lot of really great game supplements for D&D.

What's going on with Wizards?? Seems like they can't get their act together lately.

Here's a lot more detail, including some things that GF9 hasn't done great either

Certainly, both sides have done things that are causing the pulling of the license and the breach of contract suit.
Seems to be a cyclic thing with D&D. Legal troubles, financial troubles, and management/developer issues. Although I would be surprised if WotC (Hasbro) are in any sort of financial trouble with the current D&D edition. It's the most sold RPG on the market.

Seems to be a lot of Hasbro pushing on WotC to polish up their numbers to kiss up to the shareholders
That seems to make WotC do some questionable things
-
WotC has made several changes in the D&D management in the past couple of months too.
