Kwan isn't stupid, he knows that even if WotC took the book off the store people will find a way to read it. the point is WotC as the sole owners of the copyright of the book should not profit off sales of the book or enable others to read it. you can still read it. you can still use it too. it's just WotC will take the stance that yeah the book is problematic and they'll no longer endorse it. also I'm pretty sure if anyone can, it's WotC who's allowed to decide what is and isn't okay as a D&D book.what kind of argument is this? if they're using it for their game odds are very likely they already own the book. if WotC takes it off the store it's not like their copies are gonna burst into flames.you don't even need it to run your 1E game in an Asian setting, you can take a different, better written and researched supplement and use that instead, and non-weapon proficiencies made their way into 2e so you could just crib it from that PHB. OA isn't on the level of a core book.</blockquote>
