[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8314034, member: 7030563"] I don't know if it is in wizard's best interest to get involved in a copyright battle for several reasons: 1. The fights TSR had with the internet in the 90s and the fights wizard had during 3E did not actually help the company. They did protect the IP but they also alienated gamers and this led to the TSR collapse and Pathfinder taking market share from D&D respectfully. 2. I don't think there is enough money in it to justify the PR hit. This could jeopardize 5E, which is selling like gangbusters right now. The last thing they want is a court battle where big bad Hasbro goes after the little guy. This is especially true if E. Gygax is one of the guys running it. Given those things, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. To be honest a star frontiers reboot might actually cause an increase in sales from the old stuff on drive through RPG. If anything I would expect WOTC to quietly send a C&D to cover their bases for potential future litigation and then ignore it if TSR lawyers up. [/QUOTE]
