So I cannot say whether they are likeable or trustworthy. My experience with folk in corporations is that overwhelmingly, as individuals they are likeable and trustworthy. Not all are, however, and additionally I notice corporations implementing processes designed to dilute human empathy and generosity. For example, by making decisions with selected collectives or at removes from where the harm falls, and by promoting attention to some considerations and stifling attention to others.But then, there are many designers of indie RPGs who I do not know, but who perhaps have moral standpoints I would deplore.Moral behaviour, to my mind, is not most acutely what we might imagine doing... but what we in fact do. Here, the company imagined a change to their licence. What I want to see is what they in fact do. The community has for decades gone along with the owners of the D&D IP making or implying claims to rights that to me they have tenuous claim to. I think in doing so, the community has worsened its own position should the matters come to court. Hence, I do not feel any new motivatation toward handwringing.</blockquote>
