[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 9014914, member: 6845520"] And I think you're giving business executives too much credit. The corporate brainrot runs deep.

Their new bigwigs are [I]still[/I] mobile games people. They are [I]still[/I] trying to find ways to get a vice grip on the market and you are foolish if you don't think this mindset won't influence the design from the top down. The OGL isn't over. Not by a long shot. After all, a 3rd party market for creators controlled by WoTC just so coincidentally targets drive-through RPG, which is one of the revenue sources for roll 20, who just happens to be their primary VTT competition.
