[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9272436, member: 7034611"] I don't think it was about price, it was about WotC having burned the OGL to the ground by then, no one was going to continue using it as the exact same thing could happen again a few years down the line with WotC making up some new BS claims about what the license text supposedly actually means. The only question was whether they would burn the 3pps to the ground along with the OGL or release the SRD under a completely different license that WotC has no control over and that others would also rally around if WotC ever attempted the same stunt again with the new license. There aren't that many licenses around that they could have used for this, and a revised OGL is definitely not one of them. yep, they more or less said that. Kyle never promised anything, he said [I]he[/I] (not WotC) would be in favor of it and would try to convince WotC to do so. To me this at most meant the 3.x SRDs would be released under CC, I never expected any for BX, 1e, 2e or 4e. I am not convinced we are going to see a 2024 SRD, they always use this vague language to dance around the subject. If past is precedent we just saw the same thing with the new MM, they always said the 50th celebration is not over by the end of 2024 and yet almost everyone expected the core books to all be released in 2024.
