[QUOTE="halfling rogue, post: 8889804, member: 6779182"] The last WotC book I purchased was Saltmarsh. I don't care how others view it, but I didn't like the ideology they were imposing and it grew worse with every release. In my opinion "5.5" began with Revamped and Tasha. That was the end for me with WotC, but it also was easy to see that the direction they were drifting was the same as any corporation kowtowing to the Zeitgeist, which is to say--regardless of whatever ideology they were pumping--it was easy to see that they didn't care about their product, their community, their base, the game, their history, nothing. Corporations don't have souls. They only care about revenue. I don't buy the hype of backwards compatibility with 2014 5e. They lie to sell. It's just what corporations who care more for money than people and their product do. The OGL 1.1 isn't a surprise in the least (especially if you had eyes in your head during the 4e transition). I see it as a logical outcome of the direction they've been trending. Oh, they finally hit that brick wall they've been careening towards this entire time. No way. The only surprising bit for me is how fast it happened. I figured it'd happen in the next iteration. Anyway I hope WotC/Hasbro D&D goes up in flames over this and never recovers. More power to the players and the creators and other companies. [/QUOTE]
