[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7696328, member: 177"] As noted - if your headline's a question, the answer is likely, "No." However, I think we can call that a qualified no at this point. Once the OGL is out, control is out of WotC's hands, by definition. There is nothing more they can do. However, there was a great deal they already did, by waiting. The original glut was, in large part, driven by a mass desire to jump on the bandwagon, and maybe make it big by being the first one out there with the next big thing. By holding off the OGL for so long, and by not announcing and putting a date on it well in advance, they have avoided a crowd of folks chomping at the bit to get product out there. There's not a lot of need to rush, at this point, and the market has had a look at the game to know the sorts of things they actually need more - so products that do come out are likely to be better targeted. At least, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
