Not only do I think it was very clear to them, I think it was so clear to them that specific reactions from certain OGL companies were very predictable.I think WOTC was foolish to encourage Green Ronin and Paizo to stay out of 4E and to continue supporting 3e and OGL products.You don't regain control of your IP by encouraging 3rd party publishers to either become defacto WOTC subsidiaries or to stay clear.Especially when a company like Goodman is going to show you can join the GSL and still compete for market share with other product lines.If WOTC really wanted to control their IP they should have done it through leadership, not strong arm tactics.I am also hopeful to see a proliferation of 3rd party products via copyright. I think the power of the internet will allow such companies to be more successful then ever before. I would love to see a new generation of Flying Buffalo, Judges Guild, etc... be born.</blockquote>
