Well according to this EnWorld post Mike Mearls is no longer over Dungeons and Dragons at WotC. Evidently he hasn't been in that position for some time now. It appears it may have been soon after the push back by fans and the online community after he enabled known internet troll, hate spewing, online stalking and accused sexual assaulter Zak Smith. So hearing that Mike is gone is a really good thing. Even better is his replacement.
Ray Winninger has apparently taken his position at WotC over Dungeons and Dragons. Ray has an impressive resume of accomplishments in the gaming industry and a quick search hasn't pulled up anything unsavory about his character. Having him in charge seems to be a great decision for the brand and the hobby at the same time.
Although last I heard about Winninger was that he was working on a new edition of Underground on the side. So I guess that may not happen now. Darn it.
But with Mike Mearls gone hopefully they won't be using some of the most toxic elements like Zak Smith and John Tarnowski as consultants ever again.
