Yea, they alsp began shitting on Tolkien fans preemptively by saying if ypi don't like it you're against diversity, etc.
It's no accident they enacted this shortly before releasing such a steaming pile of IP monetization.

I'd bet dollars to donuts no one knew about this policy because it was never enforced until now.
