The CR people will get criticised to hell and back. "Matt Mercer" will become a name of ill-repute, and the huge army of blindly loyal hyperfans CR has, who see it as unable to do any wrong, will be open warfare with anyone criticising CR, include a hordes of less-extreme CR fans.On a positive note, though, this gives CR an incredibly strong incentive to make WotC see sense on the OGL 1.1, and make the actual final document significantly less extreme (particularly removing the deauthorization or turning it into a "mere" poison pill).Is that a gut instinct or evidence-based? Not a criticism either way, but if the latter, what are you basing it on?For me the delay and all-round silence is strongly suggestive of "OH CRAP WE DUN MESSED UP". I feel like if they were still intending to go ahead with the OGL 1.1 as received by io9/Linda, there would be messaging from 3PPs who'd already signed onto sweetheart contracts that "It's not going to be that bad!" (even though it would be), and AFAICT no-one is saying that.What lol?Wow. I think that alone would be enough to convince an awful lot of podcasts to go "Hey guys now we're a Pathfinder podcast!".</blockquote>
