You assume all businesses maintain ideal database architecture and content? You also assume that their existing programmers can actually untangle what previous programmers actually did? It must be nice but such ideals do not exist whole hog across all companies. It's something to always strive for, sure. But it's hardly a reality for everyone.
What you say bogs down to :
They are probably just super incompetent.
----
They should absolutely be able to merge account data with the new one.
If they cant do that, they are terrible at their job as a programmer.
They just choose not to do it, which is atrocious, but they also managed to teach their "customers" to not give a fk.
Its the pathetic ability to make incompetence look like "Look what we have here, ignore anything else!"
So there is no excuse to not merge data. They could and just decide not to do it.
And they dare to just assume customers dont care and they will get away with it, which is even more sad and will give them even more of a push to not give a fk for anything they have of customer data.
They literally say to customers, we dont care for your data, if you want them, just search for them on your own and "print" the stuff out.
Its hilariously unprofessional.
Nobody's complaining about the need for a new database.
The issue is that customer history is being lost by not merging old Cust_ID's into the new system.
That's just incredibly lazy transition management and bad business practice and WotC deserves to have the egg on their tie pointed at with blinking neon lights.
On almost any other platform you would have a massive outcry or the company would NEVER do that.
Losing your history data is a no-go.
And exporting the customers data to make a new account for them is trivial, anybody can do that no matter how incompetent they seem to be.
Exporting the entire history of who played who, possible but not important.
Effectively deleting your entire data and forcing user to make a new account on a different platform is absolutely atrocious and a big fku for the customers.
It screams incompetence all over the place, but its WotC we are talking about, so thats nothing new.
For a very long time they ran with "If it works dont touch it" , now they just break things all over the place and just assume that customers wont give a *****.

Should be trivial.
----
Cutting them from the DCI (as they pretty much dumped them for Judges anyway).
----
The existing DCI Reporter is pretty much atrocious and old.
Gets replaced by a mediocre "App".
Wonder how that will turn out for bigger events that have to work with this (say a Grand Prix).
