[QUOTE="Enrahim2, post: 8914827, member: 7039850"] Are we talking about the same thing? "Hasbro's worst offer from a few weeks ago is still miles better than what a company like Disney would give you" Hardly anyone is talking about the offer in this context. There seem to be a general agreement that wizards can give whatever terms they want for a license offer, or no offer at all without it being a big deal. What people are reacting to is what they try to do with 1.0a. When was the last time Disney tried to kill off a thriving market by blatantly breaking publicly made promisses? "there is no monopolization or attempted monopolization, " It seem like almost everyone analysing the situation conclude that this is a move to try to ensure effective monopoly in the ttrpg digital tooling space? A market that currently is very healthy by the way. The effect on the static content side is commonly interpreted as necessary colatteral damage. It might be that this indeed do slmehow not fall in under current antittrust law. I am not a lawyer. But given how obviously cartoonishly distruptive this is to a well functioning competive marked I would be tempted to think that if this is not a simple slam dunk for the government, this appear to be very easy PR points for law makers on both sides of the aisle. I would actually be surprised to not see at least some of them not being able to resist the temptation to comment if this news get mainstream enough without being picked up by the justice system somehow.
