[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8906234, member: 6790260"] Waiting two weeks to hear the [B]extremely simple[/B] thing literally every single upset person wants to hear is "impatient" and "entitled?" Really? Because that's literally all I want. "We will not revoke the OGL 1.0a, ever. We will sign that into writing, legally." That's all I want! Just a legally-binding statement that they will never revoke that license. If they can do that, then I literally don't care what else they do. And saying that that's what they're going to do would be easy, trivially so. (Naturally, actually getting it [I]done[/I] will take longer--I understand that. But saying, as a matter of public record, "We will make that legally-binding promise," would be trivial.) If a business hires 350 people on the idea that they can save a billion dollars through tax fraud, and then they get caught committing tax fraud, I'm not going to stop calling for swift and fitting justice against the company simply because it means 350 people are going to lose jobs that the company cannot afford to pay now that they have to pay their taxes and a piddly-nothing fine. That doesn't mean those 350 people are bad people, nor that I feel nothing for them--quite the opposite, I would feel terrible that their livelihoods had been staked on an employer they trusted, who betrayed that trust by committing crimes. I would be [I]even more[/I] angry at the company that hired them under false pretenses! This is only different by degree, not kind. [/QUOTE]
