[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8901316, member: 23751"] If this goes to court, and it's a really big if, it would take several years to finish. First it would take a long time to even make it to court. A year or two most likely. Then WotC would delay, and it's pretty easy to delay. Then regardless of who wins, it will be appealed and that will take a while. The appeals court might remand the case back down to the state level and instruct the judge to consider something or other and then make another ruling, or they could remand it back down for a whole new trial. The new decisions would probably be appealed, and so on. By the time the case is truly decided, the number of 3PP still around or willing to come back might be somewhere close to none. They'd likely have moved on to ORC or something else completely. Or if they really want to scare folks away and keep them away, don't go after Paizo and the other big 3PP. Just pick off little fish who can't afford to fight you and the other little fish will scatter. [/QUOTE]
