Simple answer, NO!


WoTC did not "foster" feelings of entitlement, neither did they imply or state that said entitlement existed, except as far as the original OGL grants. The OGL did not imply, state, or grant that all WoTC products, in prepetuity, would be Open Content. From this interpretation, it sounds like you are saying that WoTC gave up all of their current and future rights to any IP they have, or may develop in the future. That is an absurd assumption, one that seems to be based in an immature sense of entitlement. Just because some chose to view it as entitlement, even when it wasn't, does not ascribe resonsibility for those feelings to WoTC.
