I do not believe that this is a viable course from what I read on the lawyer threads but they could keep gong and defend their right to do so per the OGL 1.0(a) contract. It would be up to WoTC to prove that they can withdraw that contract.
Whereas this one would work for how the community has received the news:
By the way, this would also work for their response...
DF is a forum that has a very strong focus on playing old editions of D&D. Even retroclones don't have so much coverage. I'm not surprised that there's very little discussion of the OGL.
We need the Downfall parody.
That is the reason that I think that this is a board level thing. Which would explain the Furher Bunker stuff. Cocks was not planning to do this but get the top job and Hasbro is having a bad year by overgrazing the Magic meadow. Some wants monetization and to do that they need to kill the OGL, Cocks is Keitel, Williams is Jodl, Hitler, Goebbels and Boorman are the Hasbro board
I rest my case, as they say.
I don't follow. People have the PDFs and/or printed copied of AD&D. They don't need the OGL.I rest my case, as they say.
I still don’t get how Chardonnay is sexist. Was “yuppy” the only time I remember it being something that you pointed out. A “Chardonnay Drinker” could be any gender in that context and a beer drinker would certainly outrank them. That is what I don’t get, why is that sexist? I mean, I drink Chardonnay occasionally and I am not a woman.
It would be remarkably rare for a Board to engage in such low level tactics. They could give advice to the CEO that his targets are too low. This is not the CFO being caught running away with bags of cash and her handsome assistant over her shoulder level of managment crisis.That is the reason that I think that this is a board level thing.

The already had a board room battle to spin off Wizards as a separate public company. This may have been the response to that.
In addition, the specifics of the plan may as a result of board or investor pressure. I mean there was an actual board level bun fight about Wizards.
That was not a “Board Room Battle”. That was a proxy fight that Hasbro easily won.
Well, being one of with a strong focus on playing old editions of D&D, I was suggesting that having a strong focus on playing old editions of D&D may not be such a bad thing.
I had totally missed your point. I'm also a great fan of old editions of D&D, so I agree with youWell, being one of with a strong focus on playing old editions of D&D, I was suggesting that having a strong focus on playing old editions of D&D may not be such a bad thing.
Pray forgive the confusion.

But suposedly you cant copyright mechanics or rules only the expresion of those mechanics itself, so someone can in fact make a game that plays exactly like 5e, but the rules are written differently, and it would be perfectly legal.
Not really, they would just continue to publish under the ORC license, they dont need the ogl to publish pf2e.
