[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8926502, member: 6807152"] The logic path is pretty simple. By releasing the SRD's, outside of the time they (Wizards) tried to reinvent the wheel, they have kept the market share firmly in their court. The majority of 3PP are built on top of a single rule set, which keeps people looking at D&D, instead of other rule sets in a type of "vendor lock". The barrier to entry is higher than most care to embrace, in terms of leaving the 5e pool, for arguably better systems. Its what makes this all the more amusing to me. They have essentially a hostage user base, unwilling or able to move out to other systems. They have the biggest name in the game, and its not close. They had supporting budget that obliterates anyone else. They had decades of history and strength. And they have done less with that, squandered that position or outright abandoned it, than what an outfit of voice actors who just goof around has done in a few short years.
