I'm not sure what you're asking. Is there something that stops you from releasing content you don't own (i.e. a 5E 2024 SRD that's only released under Creative Commons) as Open Game Content under the OGL? Yes: that it's not yours to release.
My definition: people who spend way to much type with any aspect (or all aspects) of the game. For me it is monster lore and design, then cosmology, and then settings, then playing the game, then the rules, and then discussing all of this way to much on the internet.
People who are sympathetic to publishers affected by WotC's OGL shenanigans might also care. Hope that isn't "entitlement" too.And this affects the lives of regular people? Sounds like a lot of entitlement to me.
The OGL is still in effect. It covers the current SRD. WotC is not currently making any moves to stop people from making content with OGL. So everyone can make whatever they want currently. Moving the SRD to CC will only mean that WotC can never take the 3.5 SRD away (which legally the most like can't anyway - but that is beside the point). So in reality you only need to be available before they take away the OGL, which could be never. It is a PR stunt really, and I would think they would want to get some good PR, but the have a lot of that with the new books so it can wait.
The books are good, get them.
Weather it is or not is irrelevant. It’s just one man’s opinion.
Sure, but calling the opinions of others the result of entitlement is pretty pejorative.
Is it entitlement for people to think companies should give away their stuff for free? And then be mad about it for years when they don’t?
If you're going to change expectations you know people have about your products, I'd rather they tell me up front rather than string me along, yes.
They owe us nothing. I just don’t understand why people think they do. You are entitled to your opinion on the matter.
