I assume they underestimated just how godawful the terms were and did not expect everyone to walk away.However, what if WotC thought they should do this anyway in an effort to protect themselves, despite this hurting 3pps rather than because it does?there are more forces than just money that corporations consider, alwaysbut that is the point, they get a lot out of it thanks to it existing. They get nothing out of it and in fact do damage to themselves if it were eliminated.I’d say 1.1 and 1.2 differ drastically in that regard. 1.1 was a forced sublicense of the content to WotC, registration and fees. None of that was in 1.2, that one was closer to 1.0a than to 1.1It had some issues of its own, but most of these would ordinarily be considered minor at best, but after WotC had just dropped the 1.1 bomb nothing was ordinary / no one trusted themI think they could have actually waited them out if they were so intent on it. As you saidI don’t think that is the word I would use, cynical, jaded, paranoid all feel like a better fit</blockquote>
