[QUOTE="J.Quondam, post: 8914003, member: 7030100"] No, we haven't been "a bit spoiled." "Spoiled" is what happens when someone is treated too leniently for doing something bad. "Spoiled" is what it would have been had there been no OGL, and creators did their willy-nilly D&D things anyway while WotC turned a blind eye. But that's not what's happened. Generally, 3pps have used the OGL in good faith on WotC's terms for 20+ years. Creators who have abided by that agreement are not "spoiled" for doing so, nor are they "spoiled" for trusting WotC's intentions when they released it and for the last two decades. Perhaps it was naive, but it's not "spoiled" to accept as status quo something that's been in existence for so long- longer than many gamers have been alive, in fact, and for whom OGL1.0 is [I]literally[/I] "the way it's always been." Stop framing this issue as if 3pp creators and hobbyists are doing something wrong by using OGL1.0. Those people and companies are not "spoiled" brats, they're not leeches on WotC bank account. That's an unfair misrepresentation of how the past twenty years have unfolded. [/QUOTE]
