I think you are done then. I believe this clever satirical passage from "How the Grinch Stole D&D" on reddit posted earlier this week is accurate:If Hasbro/WOTC carries out the legally dubious attempt to kill OGL 1.0a I'm done as a customer. I've enjoyed buying all the hardcovers and playing each new edition since 1979, but the company lying about the intent and purpose of the OGL to kill the open gaming commons is too much to abide.
"The Wizbro had been caught by this tiny Gamer daughter
Who’d got out of of bed for a cup of cold water
She stared at the Wizbro and said “WoTC, why
“Why are you taking our OGL? WHY?”
But, you know that old Wizbro was so smart and so slick,
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick
“Why, my sweet summer child,” the executive lied,
“There’s racisms on this OGL that I just can’t abide
“So I am taking it home, to Seattle, my dear,
“I’ll fix it up there. Then I’ll bring it back here.”
And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head.
And he got her a DDB survey, and sent her to bed.
And when Cindy-Lou Player went to bed with her survey,
He went to his attorney, and deauthorized the real OGL anyway."
This is where we are. And no, I don't think this "Grinch's heart" is growing in any manner, let alone anytime soon.
