The company started by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye eventually ended up being owned primarily by Lorraine Williams. Ms. Williams was heiress to the Buck Rogers IP. Any way, she's running the biggest RPG company in the world and openly shows disdain for the gamers who are her customers. She DESPISED gamers and was rude to them at conventions.

She eventually drove ithe company into the ground and it was only saved by being bought out by Wizards of the Coast.
