[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 4411341, member: 813"] Corjay, we (excluding you) have been discussing the OGL for 8 years now. We assume everyone knows that 8 years of history like the back of their hand. When we disagree with you, it apparently is because you are misinformed and we don't realize it. This is not an indictment against you. But several times in several threads we have disagreed with you and many times it came out 20 posts later that you lacked some key piece of information that was the basis of our argument. Can I ask you to consider asking questions before you state an opinion since you seem to make decisions based on limited information? Seriously, it would benefit those of us who don't want to rehash all the old OGL arguments from 2001 and 2002 again today. You are lucky if you've never seen a new management team come in and just obliterate everything that happened before. This happens all the time. And not just in mergers. Someone departs the company and the person moved into his spot (whether laterally or from below) decides his predecessor was an idiot and changes all the operating procedures. All the time. I can't take any argument seriously which involve companies having carnal knowledge of one another. :) This I assume refers to the bleeding of money. The only way to assume WotC lost as much money as 3pps gained is by assuming that RPG sales are a zero-sum game. I do not think they are and I doubt many others arguing with me do either.
