Ryan was very proud of the development of the OGL, and let the world know about it. In the case discussed in this thread, no one has (or likely will for a whole host of reasons) come forward and say "this was my decision, I'm taking responsibility for it."It is not a particularly good secret that the OGL fell out of favor during the Hasbro years, and the result of that is it wasn't carried over into the new edition. Once again, we don't have a person to step up and say "I'm responsible for the GSL instead of continuing the OGL for the new Edition: it was my decision." My assumption is that is because the decision was not made by anyone who ever reads ENWorld, nor, frankly, even plays RPGs. Now I said assumption, so that's assuming, with all that it implies. If someone would like to step forward and claim credit for the change, I'd be happy to credit them directly, but I don't expect that will happen.I'm not trying to be snarky here, and I do understand what you mean, but I think it's just a victim of the corporate culture.--Steve</blockquote>
