[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 1489725, member: 2732"] Yes, but what I think will be the consequences of this will be that publishers will start being more limited in what parts of their products become released under the OGL. I guess it's wrong to trust humanity to not be greedy and exploitive. Yes, and try another example. A family comes on hard times and misses a rent payment due to a bank mixup. Landlord 1 works out a deal with them, understands that it was just a one-time thing. Landlord 2 starts eviction immediately. By rights, Landlord 2 is following the letter of the law, but is it right? You ignore all of these variables in your arguments. Maybe you didn't understand that the first example was done agreeing to the OGL. I don't follow your criticism of it. Basically, you are saying that it doesn't matter if the gaming industry goes bankrupt because Wizards was stupid for releasing such a license agreement. Well congratulations then. This short term thinking will be the death of the hobby. [/QUOTE]
