No, they are still going to make their VTT, this mess does not really affect it.I just posted that they would not back down on digital, so I got that one very wrong.
I think? Did they back down on digital?

I just wanted to say: I was completely wrong. I did not believe WotC would ever back down.
I didn't either. I saw the OGL fiasco as the opening salvo to change D&D from being undermonetized to something better. Now I wonder how they plan to fix the undermonetization problem.I just wanted to say: I was completely wrong. I did not believe WotC would ever back down.
My guess is that they will make a new, more restrictive, license entirely separate from OGL for OneDnD/5.5/6e/whatevertheycallit. Similar to what they tried with 4e.I didn't either.

Yup, boycotts do work, when a community bands together. That’s why, even though I didn’t think WotC would back down on this, I was very adamantly opposed to the “let’s compromise and try and get a less worse 1.2” position. We have tremendous collective bargaining power, but the nature of collective power is that we have to be united to utilize it.I just hope people keep this in mind when someone claims that boycotts don't work. Things are not always hopeless, and we sometimes have more power than we think. I hope this brings you all hope. <3
Indeed. Two big takeaways here:Eat crow if you must, but it's way more important to remember this next time scumbags try to make moves. Take heart that the worse case scenario isn't a prophecy.
They backed down on everything! They’re leaving OGL 1.0a completely alone, released the full 5.1 SRD under Creative Commons, and closed the 1.2 survey. Technically they could still release 1D&D under a new license, but it would be a pretty tone-deaf move, and moreover, unless it’s truly incompatible with 5e, it should be easy to clone using the CC license.I just posted that they would not back down on digital, so I got that one very wrong.
