WotC at the present time is interested in having FULL control over 4th edition, they think the OGL was a mistake (otherwise they would be still using it). They could simply have stated one year ago that they would not be licensing 4th edition at all, but that would have gotten consumers against 4th edition from the start and all OGL companies would have prepared products that might compete directly with 4th edition. So they delayed the GSL and when they finally released it's so restrictive that no one will sign it unless they are dumb or have nothing to lose in the deal. In the end the Hasbro/WotC is the same as the TSR of old, they think the best way of doing businnes is by having all the business for themselves. I am not bashing WotC for that, they are a private company but thinking OGL companies are lazy and dumb for not subscribing to the GSL is like believing the whole weapons of mass destruction deal all over again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
