[QUOTE="brianajones, post: 430137, member: 7846"] And that's fine on the mailing list. Here however, it's really not up to you, since you're not a moderator. And since it was brought up, here's my opinion... Wotc wanted the splatbooks and such gone because it made PCGen a better program than E-Tools. Rather than make E-tools better, they asked us to cripple PCGen. That's fine, and perfectly within their rights. Now they say they will discuss adding the non-SRD stuff back in. I'm almost willing to bet that they won't even meet with the PCGen staff, much less allow the stuff in. Before you yell and say that the Non-SRD is their IP, and they have a right to protect it, I say again, that's perfectly within thier rights. However, they weren't losing money with PCGen, and it was a good system. By stopping PCGen (and other generators, as well.) They are proving to me, at least, that they are really just in it for the money. Other companies have allowed its material to be added, even though it provides little to no monetary value for them. I think it's because they believe that the customer's are more important than a dollar or two. That's something WotC seems to have forgotten since they were bought by Hasbro.
