I can understand people saying what they did was fair (I don't think it was, I think it was a pretty unthinkable thing for an RPG company to do at the time, but I get the argument if you think OGL was bad for them, therefore they acted in their best interest). But just chalking up something the whole RPG community was up in arms about (I think justifiably because of what the OGL meant and the culture it created), to that's just what businesses do seems almost suicidal culturally. I rarely get outraged over these types of things. I am not one to buy a particular type of shampoo for example because of broader ethical concerns. But when companies do things like this, when they do things that impact people in a significant way (i.e. chemical spills in peoples' towns, jacking up the price of cheap but life saving medicine like epipens or inhalers, etc).....I think it is not only fair but important for people to react in a strong way so companies aren't allowed to use their power to hurt the public or hurt the 'market' they are serving.</p></blockquote><p></p>
