Why I'm not boycotting the movie, video games, comic books or novels over the OGL scandal, just D&DB & hardcovers.

[Horwath]

Why? Removing the Royalties and coping clause are good enough.

maybe because people want OGL for 5.5E or whatever next DND edition is called as 3PP create really good products, some really better than wotc.

 

[Charlaquin]

Yeah but I don't want you to do that. Honestly this OGL outrage has become a bore and I am tired of seeing it.

Again, that’s the point.

I don't care about keeping 1.0. It does not affect anyone at this point anyway as the other companies are moving away and only they would have been affected by the changes in the first place.

It absolutely affects the industry significantly.

No, no they are not.

no, because they can change the license at any time, whereas the current one cannot be changed

well, if WotC reversed course and added the 'irrevocable' to it, they might come back. I get it, does not affect you, who cares about anyone else, all the people losing their jobs are quite annoying with their pleas for help

Yeah, that's a big 'nope' there.

There's a whole cottage industry that's been thrown into chaos that's still ongoing because despite appearances nothing's been resolved and we're stuck in a holding pattern until they tell us exactly what OGL 2 is

 

[Bolares]

By all means, watch it. Just don’t pay money to do so. Or at the very least, don’t pay to do so during the first week.

They only care about domestic ticket sales. Holywood couldn't care less how much money they make in Brazil

 

[Horwath]

I'll have a simple decision for 5.5E/6E/1D&D or whatever its name will be:

Is it under OGL/ORC licence?
If not, then 0 payment from me.

 

[ThorinTeague]

Yeah, but I also don't want that to happen. I want to watch the movie in peace.

I don't see the point of keeping up the protests given that they are already walking back the stuff that was objectionable.

There is one issue and one issue only. Revoking 1.0a. That's it. Everything else is mud. And they have not walked that back.

WoTC/Hasbro plans to have it under OGL2 (or whatever it ends up being) which is not at all open.
