[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 4309225, member: 18"] If this is really what they want, and I do not believe it is (it may be what The Rouse or other individuals want, but not WotC leadership), then they are going about it completely incorrectly. The restrictions on the GSL make creating 3pp adventures very problematic, to say the least. Also, you're out of your mind if you think things like character management software for the BlackBerry don't "support the game". Yet WotC can't even manage Mac support for their DDI, so I'm fairly certain I'll never see anything useful in that department from WotC, whilst they simultaneously ensure that any such product is illegal. This is what really demonstrates that they're not just trying to "avoid leeching", but rather to extremely carefully and selectively limit what products can be produced. From a business perspective, this is fine. I don't think it's smart, because I think it will bite them in arse in the long-term. From the perspective of this player, I think it's horrible. [/QUOTE]
