[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8897696, member: 23751"] What does ORC have to do with dropping the OGL stuff? Those are two different things. They can remove their OGL stuff in days or weeks if they want. What part of, "They would wait until WotC comes after them." was I unclear about? Yes, if WotC comes after them for being "too close" they will have to fight. That will be a different fight than what the small creator is fighting, though. There's no incentive for Paizo to hand millions of dollars to a small company to fight a fight that isn't theirs. So you think it's better to throw millions of dollars into a fight that isn't yours, rather than let that case settle out of court and then millions more to fight your own fight IF WotC comes after you? It's not the same case. Even if WotC goes to trial and wins, and it's very, very unlikely to make it to trial, that win won't really affect Paizo. Paizo isn't trying to use the OGL 1.0a, so a decision that OGL 1.0a is off limits doesn't mean much. WotC has to come after them for the different issue of being too close to OGL 1.0a. [/QUOTE]
