1.0a is effectively dead even if Wizards backs down, but it is still important to fight for it.

[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8916266, member: 8461"] It's important to fight for the OGL v1.0a, I agree, but not because of any gesture that it might mean toward the community. Rather, it's important (at least to me) because there are entire game systems out there which are derived from the 3.5 SRD, and which won't be transferred over to the ORC License, leaving them effectively dead if WotC sunsets the OGL v1.0a (even if they migrate that and other older-edition SRDs to their new OGL, I wouldn't expect any publishers in their right mind to sign it based on the terms WotC has proposed to date). Pathfinder 1E content. OSR content. Mutants & Masterminds content. All based on the 3.5 SRD, and all effectively dead without the OGL v1.0a. So yeah, it's worth fighting for, but not (just) because of respect, but because new stuff won't be made for games I'm not ready to give up on. [/QUOTE]
