[QUOTE="dinelendarkstar, post: 4658848, member: 64831"] No apology needed but thanks none the less. I agree with you here completly. It is not their job at all. I am just saying that looking at it in a strictly business point of view. I think that WotC could look at this in a different light but aren't. They could be like other companies and license the use of the IP for the purpose of Alternate tools or charcter generators. But they are looking at it as people should only use theirs or nothing. The difference is those companies that do license don't have a gen of their own they are trying to market. Which brings me back to my point from before. D&DI isn't made of just the Character Builder and is still worth it's weight for all it's other tools. I seriously don't think a few other companies doing alt tools of any kind are going to hurt that bottom line. I just can't see that as a reality. But I do see the opportunity for WotC to profit from those alt tools also, if they so choose. Win Win for them. And still a win for the 3PP. No loss to bottom line + increase in bottom line = happy shareholders. make a lot of your customers mad and they go somewhere else to play = loss to bottom line = Not happy shareholders. [/QUOTE]
