[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4310442, member: 10177"] The only reason I can find to like the GSL is it will be keeping certain 3rd party companies with 3E. Other than that I hate it because it goes against the fundamental feelings of community I like about D&D. Which in turn now looks like I will be severing all ties with the 4E portion. The 4E GSL didn't need to be turned into the heavy handed document it appears to be to prevent the problems that did exist with the 3E OGL. Its the way it is because WOTC/Hasbro has decided to become the heavy handed control freaks so many other corporations are. I do not support such businesses or their practices any more than I have too. This idea that whats good for the company is good for the consumer is a complete falsehood. Its only good for the company. Only when people like me are in the minority. I believe corporations are to be there for me, not their bottom line and making it as fat as possible. That just means I pay more to get less. So if this is as restrictive and controlling as it appears, products from WOTC and Hasbro are products I don't need to have. [/QUOTE]
