I consider all of these D&D ‘users’, I guess you draw a distinction hereand to an even larger part to make money off 3pps supplying the D&D market with their products. The D&D market is not just products that WotC sells, even though you seem to consider that to be all there is to itand they can do so without changing the OGL, all their merchandise is completely unrelated to the OGL, so are their movies, books, or video games, etc.I understand that, but as I said, the OGL has nothing to do with that, at allI am not sure where you have that number from, but whatever it is, it is not fans, WotC never reported ‘fan’ numbers just either ‘players ever’ or ‘DDB users’ or something like that.Anything beyond this point is some wild speculation with no basis in reality that I can detect, so I end it here</blockquote>
