How do you access a text file on a PS5? Plus it needs to be accessible to a "reasonable person." Ask your parents or a preteen to find a specific text file for a computer game on your hard drive sometime.

I echo this 100% I wish we could keep the 1.0a, but we need to think ahead to a realistic future with the 1.2 and debate how to make that better.

Computer software =/= video games. By software there they meant character builders, encounter builders, and similar online tools. As many, many people have pointed out, how do you allow "all the recipients [...] to extract and use any Open Game Content you've included in your application" if...

And your goal is??? My position is that we can't move forward by looking backwards. WotC isn't going to change their mind on the OGL 1.0a. Nothing that's been said over the last month or fortnight or week seems to have budged them. It's a non-starter. So rather than setting myself up to lose...

No, they don't. But they're killing it anyone for other reasons, so there's no real point in debating that point. But board games do have common entry points. You have the standard, familiar all ages American games and then Catan to introduce people to adult Euro games. And the industries are...

Cancelling accounts also creates a support ticket. (As does filing a complaint.) You're reading what you want to read. Admittedly it is unclear in that article and it does include those details in the same paragraph making it seem like they were talking about deletions. Especially as outright...

There's a difference between "believing" and "accepting." They're going to do it. They're not going to change their mind. They're willing to give the fans the benefit of the doubt and listen to some feedback, but don't believe for a second that this is going to end in any way other than the OGL...

3PP are nothing to WotC. All of them together are a rounding error on the D&D books, let alone WotC's total revenue. Unless they're doing something that hurts D&D, they're not worth thinking about. It's exploding because of Dungeons & Dragons. If D&D goes away or gets hurt by this, it's not...

This!

Source? The Gizmodo article on the "5 digits" number was complaining tickets in the system, which would be cancellations. https://gizmodo.com/dungeons-dragons-wizards-hasbro-ogl-open-game-license-1849981136 It's not going to go to court. It might have had they prevented Paizo from selling...

Which is choosing your feelings over the financial health of 3rd Party Publishers. See, the cost to make an RPG book is pretty set. You're paying for art with some words. You need a certain amount of sales to cut even and sales above that becomes profit. So if your sales are reduced by 3/4ths...

Misremembered the exact number when I said "under a percentage point." I tend to ballpark it at 2 million. Which seems like the average ratio of DMs to players. (But a lot of players might sub as well.) Which is 2.5%. Keep in mind that in 2021 D&D grew by 33%, the seventh year in a row of...

That's actually a myth. That's how Ryan Dancey sold the OGL to executives, when really he wanted to ensure the game and the future of the hobby wasn't forever tied to one company. I don't think I've hear someone talk about trying "to earn WoW money" in a decade... WoW subscriber peaked in...

Yeah, of the people who cancelled DDB (which was 5 digits and closer to 50k according to reports, which is still less than a percentage point of DDB's subscribers let alone D&D players) only a minority will not forgive. But this bugs me because it's dominating the conversation and drowning out...

Follow the chat chain up and you'll see that when I made that statement I was responding to someone who said: There's no shortage of people with that attitude on these forums alone, who just want vengeance now and won't even accept a reversal.

Jesus wept dude. I said This is the crux of the issue for me. It was about the OGL a week or two ago. But now it's not. Not really. Almost nobody here is actually discussing or providing feedback. This was meant to be a goddamn plus thread and even here people keep picking fights. I'm not...

I'm not even sure what you're arguing about. I said: Emphasis added. Some people. Not all. Not every gamer. Not 100%. Or even most. Yeah, there are some people who would accept WotC walking back the change. And there are some here who just want to burn it all down.

That makes zero sense. I have no idea what you're trying to say here... Are you saying people will only sign the OGL to sell on D&D's sites. But... you don't sell OGL content on WotC's sites. DnDBeyond is free homebrew that doesn't need a license beyond the ToS. (And its not like racist and...

What clause in the new license will guarantee competition will be ruined?

This is the crux of the issue for me. It's become less about Open Gaming and actually ensuring the livelihood of 3rd Party Publishers and morphed into an excuse to attack and bash WotC. To the point where people are willing to defend and choose Amazon and MasterCard over Wizards of the Coast...
