I would love a good answer to that question.
It seems to me as though WotC is jumping through hoops to try to prevent something that doesn't actually harm the "900-lb gorilla" of name-brand recognition, but their attempts to prevent it harm both 3pp that would support them and the customers that would buy their products.

Hey I was waiting for a reply to my post so I could say something to the effect of what you just said more eloquently and concise than I could have put it. =P
So, yeah. That was my point as well. So many people are blinded by the brand and conditioned by society to buy the brand name for whatever reason that it matters little what an off brand does.
Some will always buy the brand name, and others will always buy the product they feel has better quality.
And yet another word from our sponsors
