[QUOTE="Enrahim2, post: 8910342, member: 7039850"] A GSL identical to 1.1 allowing use of the badge, and as the only license for the planed 5.2 would likely have given them absolutely everything they wanted, including VTT dominance. The badge would have been worth gold as a guarantee that the suplement indeed was supposed to be used with and fully compatible with the latest version of D&D. Most customers would likely not want too look deeply into if there might be any subtle incompatibilities with the deprecated 5.1SRD material, and many DMs would likely considder only to allow that kind of 3rd party content of similar reasoning that many have only accepted official content. (Similarly I think people would have flocked to the only VTT fully supported this revised edition) However they just had to try to make completely sure that no VTT could compete. The result? Now that badge is going to be absolute poison. It is likely going to drastically reduce your chances of being featured on certain important promotion channels. Anyone buying such content and showing to anyone in the know will likely be told about its troubled history, and hence the social stigma against it will spread among even most causal consumers. Trough overreaching i believe wizards have managed to turn a possibly incredibly valuable badge to something with negative value. I for one will at least be more hesitant in getting a product with the badge. (I know some using it will do so due to being "forced" to do so, so no ill intent there. It is more about seeing this badge being prone to give me poor associations about something I don't want to be reminded about) [/QUOTE]
