I remember thinking when I first read the 4E rules back in the day that it was Wizbro's attempt to attract folk riding the World-of-Warcraft bandwagon, which I was told had millions of paying customers at the time.Interestingly, from what I understand of it, Wizbros's leaked GL specifically mentions such notions as people not being allowed to create anything non-written or pdf-able on numerous occasions, which made me think that - if anything - they may well be trying to monopolize D&D's presence on the www as well as in the (computer/tablet/phone/watches/glasses/lamps/what-have-you-these-days) gaming industry.Wouldn't you also agree that it would be in Wizbro's interests to cash in on 3PP www and gaming because, as a big company, they may be more limited in what they can do then 3PP's? Also, being a big, slow-moving company, people signing the supposed new GL would allow them to benefit from creative, innovative, trend-setting minds all over the www without actually having to pay them. So perhaps Wizbro have just always been trying to catch up to the ever-growing www-ification of D&D and are now even more eager to succeed because DDB and 1D&D?</blockquote>
