[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8936308, member: 3457"] Voices on the internet are usually and rarely reflective of the majority or even the most loyal. They are the vocal minority. Most players and fans probably didn’t care either way and we don’t know what the financial impact is/was on WOTC with regard to the OGL incident because it was a very small time span and made zero impact on, for example, Amazon sales rank, where the PHB remained a top product. Yes all these other games sold through, and that’s wonderful, and a sign of an impact on the brand, but was it the most loyal? Was it a blip? Do those sales translate to new, sustained players or are they short term gains with minimal impact for those games? The average player, again, doesn’t care about OGL or how this impacts everything and it won’t impact their games or their buying dollars. Many don’t even know what it is and just buy their D&D books, minis and other products because they love playing. This will be the majority. Some might blip out for a short term and then blip right back in. OneDnD will pull more back in. [/QUOTE]
