They tried to rid themselves of it with 4e, without touching it mind you, they understood that they could not. They then deliberately brought it back with 5e, they knew what it was, no need to pretend otherwiseit was meant to show the disparity between Hasbro and the 3pps when this came to a legal fight. Hasbro can pretty much bankrupt just about any 3pp just by dragging the trial out, even if they stood no chance of actually winning.they do control their product, it's not like I can publish my version of Curse of Strahd or whatever. Out of line for trying to break a binding contract that they felt did not benefit them as much as a different deal they wanted to install in its place.I am a neutral person, I'd say it is pretty accurately reflecting what was going on. They did not threaten to kill a person, they 'only' threatened to destroy their business. I do not for a second believe that these were open ended talks amongst friends which more likely than not would have left the OGL in place once WotC had learned of the impact on 3pps, if not for the uproar of the crowd. That uproar was their gun jamming in the analogy.I am not sure what you consider a personal attack, the 'pretend'? I do not believe anyone is naive enough to actually believe that, not sure thinking you are smarter than your argument is a personal attack <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Replace it with 'claim' if you like.</blockquote>
