Their biggest competitor is successful in no small part BECAUSE they are OGL.WotC refusing to go OGL doesn't make any sense to me. Why would they cripple their product vs the competition on day one?Did Paizo benefit from the OGL to WotC's detriment? You bet they did. But I don't think any other company could have pulled it off so well. Especially if they themselves were then anti OGL. The past is done, the pie is made, going forward in a sensible manner is now what counts, and going without an OGL will be a big 'go away!' sticker right on the front cover of 5e to many of the very people they hope to attract.Maybe that isn't what they want, maybe they hope to walk away from those customers and grow by finding and growing a new customer base rapidly or slowly, but I believe them when they say they want to appeal to those customers that stayed away, and the OGL is a big part of that, imho.</blockquote>
