You know what else is absurd? For a business to go in a certain direction, which many of it's fans support (regardless of whether it's the OGL or the free material given away on the website during 3e and 3.5)... Totally change that direction (while being exceptionally hush, hush and secretive about it) and expect those customers (some of which may have supported the company because it did go in this direction) to not be angry or peeved about it. Furthermore it is also absurd to then claim these people's anger is childish and basically without merit...
Does that clear up what I'm saying? |
Ok, I can get behind this, at least partially.
It would be totally absurd if
WOTC did not in any way anticipate that some people would react negatively to
WOTC not extending the
OGL to
4e.
But!
1. If there was some way to verify, I would happily bet you about a hundred bucks that at least once
WOTC had some kind of meeting or correspondence or internal memo during which likely fan reaction to decisions related to the
OGL and
4e were discussed.
2. The fact that it is predictable and inevitable that some people from amongst a large population will react to your decisions in a childish manner does NOT transform their childish reaction into a mature one.
And yet another word from our sponsors
