[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8940330, member: 20564"] That's a valid question. Someone does something fairly nasty. They own up to it, apologize, and ask forgiveness. At this point, it's really important to see if that is a truth, or just a cover for a pattern of action. It's a classic domestic abuse situation. I don't want someone tarred and feathered. I want them to stop doing nasty things. In this case, much like the first "apology", it's spin something in a way that they look good but is really misleading. Which is still 1000x better than the whole OGL mess. And here's a perfect example of why that report was spin. Thank you for providing a clarion example of why this is important. You talk about believing or not believing the report. That is the issue they want you to focus on, since the report is (I assume) completely correct. However, will a report for the financial year that ENDED on December 26th, 2022, show anything about DnDBeyond cancelations in January 2023? About drops in sales? This really should not be a tough question. It has one, factual answer. No, January 2023 is not in the financial year Dec 27th, 2021 to Dec 26, 2022. That report has [I][SIZE=6]nothing[/SIZE][/I] to do with lost sales due to the OGL issue. Yet by associating it with the OGL debacle they ar getting intellignet people to think that it's related. It's not. Time doesn't work like that. So everything they said was truthful. Which doesn't mean it could not be presented in a way that's leads us to draw the wrong conclusion. Exactly as you did when talking about how you believed the report. I believe the report too, but it has no relevance on the impact of the OGL - and major stockholders can sue if they think you are making a lot less then you should be, happened to a company I used to work for. If you want a report on the relevance of the OGL, a year-over-year for January 2023 would be one good place to start, and maybe longer term trends as well. But also like you I think that once they apologized that a lot of people accepted this as done and just wanted to put it behind them. [/QUOTE]
