Has anyone cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription as a protests over the OGL?

Just curious.

It is absolutely the number 1 thing to have an effect
Digital is their way forward so put a speed bump into that ambition.

I sure did, and told them why in the "But why are you cancelling?!?!?" box.

I am undecided. If they continue with the OGL 1.1 I will, but it was a non-paying subscription so...

I also need to download all the content I have on the platform first!

I have not, because I really like D&D Beyond and so far there's nothing officially said about 1.1. They still have time to walk this back. But if they go forward I'll definitely unsub.

Cancelling a non-paying subscription really doesn’t hurt them at all.

I guess it does send a message.

For me, my sub is paid until June (annual plan). We should know more about the OGL by then. Until this gets sorted out I won’t be buying more content but I don’t think there was anything I was super excited about in the near future anyway.

Mine is also a long one (may I think?) which honestly makes it easier to cancel, because nothing will actually happen for months. But they do get the cancellation feedback right now.

I can see people on a month-to-month subscription not cancelling because they're still playing 5E and their group might lose content and so on.

But if you've got a longer subscription, why not cancel it and say OGL 1.1 as the reason? Literally the worst that can happen is you might forget to re-sub, and just had to re-sub in a few months lol.

Nope.

I don’t have a paid sub and the 5e campaign I play in uses Beyond, so no.

To add some perspective, I doubt more than one or two of the ten people in that game have any idea what’s happening with the new OGL (or what the OGL is, for that matter).
