If that was the case, they could have simply issued a 1.0b and added revokable without redefining the word and ended it there. Instead, they moved to something that is not copyleft and keep quietly pushing it as better while also saying people have choice. There is something about 1.0a, or...

You are not alone in noting this. I had to go back to make sure I did not miss something. Another theme I am seeing is saying somehting like, "we will keep OGL 1.0a" (paraphrasing), then keep lowkey dinging at OGL 1.0a as not being effecting in what it set out to do or a "short document that...

Still, there is a constant not-so-subtle slight of OGL 1.0a in all of these interviews as being short and not very useful. It feels like a constant nudge to people to use the CC version. Why?

Isn't there a free tier?

I am officially OGL outraged out. Not because Hasbro or Wizards have successfully made things right. Rather, the spin and gaslighting are just too much to be bothered with anymore. Nothing Kyle Brinks says adds up in the way WotC wants it to add up. Cook may be right that the D&D Beyond boycott...

Have read about this story in other places, though if I recall correctly when Gary told the story he sold the copy directly to Greg at the print shop. Cute as the story is, we have to remember a few of things. First, the print shop did not deliver complete box sets. They printed the booklets...

Agree, I just nuked one of my posts. The content would be great for a journalist to work on, but not great for a forum.

Thought better of what was posted prior.

Friend, I am bowing out. Love your comments, though we are just not going to see eye-to-eye here.

My take is that "Brink says that the OGL change has been years in the making and comes from a time before Hasbro paid much attention to WotC or D&D" (more of a reply to Retreater): well sure, that could go all the way back to 4e, and some of the people responsible for the Game System License...

The creative team is not the Borg, and most do not have the clout to be involved strategy. They are content creators. If creatives were involved it would have to be the higher-level one, or those working on longer range planning for both editorial for publications and that of the rules direction...

I do not value speculation on its own. Here what matters is what the small publisher community is thinking and how that will affect their actions.

CGI and AI are not the same, this is apples to oranges. Even an AI-powered retouching brush used on a photo is not the same as generative AI.

Not yet. We need to see the community standards thing they are working on. We need 1.0b with the word "irrevocable" and no additional language redefining the word. This is to enshrine the 20+ years of OGC placed in the commons. Or 3.0, 3.5 and modern d20 SDRs placed in CC, with no edits from...

“Within its Wizards segment, Hasbro continues to destroy customer goodwill by trying to over-monetize its brands.” — Bank of America Never thought I would see a company slapped by an investor, analyst, or investor for trying to increase profits. You are seriously doing it wrong for this to happen.

Such as? Can you give some examples?

For sure, another cause may be the finetuning to get Chat-GPT to be more reliable and not make stuff up as much. At first, it was great at saying false claims with convincing conviction—it still does, but less often. Remembering what was said upstream is an advertised feature on new chat...

What works? This video from Corridor Crew's "Lawyer Explains Stable Diffusion Lawsuit (Major Implications!)" is my source. Followed by Google to see if it was true. Restating, I am not a lawyer.

If you asked me this a month ago, I would have said yes. Lately, Chat-GPT seems to be forgetting the thread of a conversation. Another aspect to remember, if the plan is to publish this work, the work created by an AI can't be copyrighted, though that may change due to a comic book called Zarya...

The language is muddied, maybe by journalists, and also by people like us discussing this—example from the Gizmodo article: Based on this, and Kyle Brink's choice of language, which may or may not be precise as he says he was in the know, but not aware of every detail, as well as Kyles overall...
