[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 4103455, member: 1254"] I'm not sure about that--that "sights have shortened." Just because the OGL isnt being used doesnt mean they are short sighted. The OGL could use improvements, from everyone's standpoint. Granted, WotC will make changes that address the problems from their stanpoint, not necessarily from our standpoint. :) But I think WotC is just reacting to the way the OGL worked for 3E--some stuff worked great, some didnt--and they are making appropriate changes based on those things. The big issue is uncertainty. I know what the OGL lets me do from a product standpoint. But I dont know what the GSL will let me do. That, in my view, is the big problem. Until that question is answered, its hard for us to go forward as publishers. Though I do agree that cutting off all third party support would be short sighted. My discussions with Scott and Linae and others indicate that they want to help the third party publishers. They get it. [/QUOTE]
