Talk:Decipher

Style pass (2026-10-15)

From the removed Gaps section: full corporate org charts, product calendars and non-SWCCG detail are better served by Wikipedia / LOTR / Trek wikis; expand only when a claim needs an SWCCG-hub cite.
Additional logo eras (pre-1999 packaging marks, late FanHQ chrome, post-2008 decipher.com relaunch art) may exist in IA captures not yet mirrored here.
No primary court document attached for the Eddleman case; dollar totals rest on the Virginian-Pilot, Wikipedia, LOTR-TCG wiki and Holland's archived site.

Embezzlement figures vary: guilty plea for more than US$1.5 million (Virginian-Pilot, Wikipedia); civil settlement about US$8.9 million (Wikipedia); losses about US$9 million per Holland's archived document site (LOTR-TCG wiki). Prefer the Pilot archives and Holland's site over paraphrases.

License-loss framing: "Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro relationship with Lucasfilm is the usual sister-wiki framing" (Wikipedia SWCCG; LOTR-TCG wiki).
"Sister encyclopedias with broader company coverage include the LOTR-TCG Players Council Decipher page and Wikipedia." (links kept in See also)
"See the Holland page for Vision statement, press path, license-loss / Players' Committee statements, and interview links."
Logo details cut from captions: 1999 lockup "brushstroke circular mark + DECIPHER + tagline The Art of Great Games (© line reads 1999)"; LOTR-TCG wiki caption "It's an older logo, sir, but it checks out."; condensed wordmark "tall spaced DECIPHER (white on black)"; web header "luminous DECIPHER on dark gradient (Wookieepedia File:Decipher.jpg, uploaded 2008)"; Radio Free Decipher "podcast / archive mark (not the corporate seal)".
"This wiki hosts encyclopedia copies with source URLs (fair use of company logos for identification)." and "Product-line logos (SWCCG set marks, Fight Klub fist lockups, individual game wordmarks) are out of scope for this corporate gallery unless needed on product articles."
Sources list removed; all items already cited in refs except Memory Alpha Decipher, which remains in See also. Note on LOTR-TCG wiki: "company narrative adapted here with paraphrase + dual cites".
