You are saying we should show goodwill to a company that just burned down 20 plus years of goodwill within the community?All those smaller companies, publishers, writers, artists & commenters very nearly got put out of business due to the 1.1 OGL. You can't honestly expect the entire industry to just roll over like a good doggy after they tried to burn the entire industry to the ground.Were you around during the d20 glut? because that almost destroyed the entire industry as well. When they killed the d20 STL, they destroyed thousands of jobs, businesses, and ttrpg's. FLGS's went out of business. It took years for many to recover from the damage.Its been about a year since the OGL 1.1 debacle, and the damage is still very real. My 5e projects and my 5e business are dead, as are countless other projects that creators were forced to abandon when they were faced with the threat of a large corporation hanging the sword of Domacles over the entire industry.You don't get to speak for those who were harmed by the companies shady business practices. Those who suffer harm at the hands of others deserve to have their voices heard without you trying to debase their claims by boiling it down to "outrage."What did you lose? nothing at all? Then maybe its time you took a moment to think about the people who were in fact harmed by these events, and perhaps have a bit of empathy for fellow human beings, rather than a big corporation that doesn't care about the community.</blockquote>
