Wizards of the Coast president John Hight is stepping down from the role. The change in role comes roughly two years after Hight took it in August 2024, and after WOTC owner Hasbro took a $56 million impairment charge last week. In a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz, WOTC said, "After two years as President of Wizards of the Coast, John Hight is transitioning from the role, effective September 1. John will continue to support Wizards in an advisory capacity while pursuing other creative and professional opportunities he's passionate about." Communication with WOTC seemed non-existent following this move, but in June the devs' union, now dubbed United Wizards of the Coast, was officially elected.
