[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 8927175, member: 7024893"] No, they had intentions of releasing an absurdly restrictive license that we even saw drafts of it. Their 180 is 100% due to their customer base before mad. You can't really argue that they had the intentions from the start to be the good guys and release the SRD under CC, it just wasn't the case. Well, they did send contracts to 3rd party creators to lock them in early, so yes they demonstrated that it wasn't only show. And promise or not is irrelevant, they broke the trust. Some consumers will not care, and that is OK. Others will and have moved on, and that is OK too. Nobody is charging them with murder, but many sure as hell won't hang out with them anymore now that they've revealed they are willing to hurt us to out of nowhere. It's common sense. Which is... exactly the same as with WotC? Except that Paizo's SRD are multiple times larger in time of content. I don't see how you can argue that when a simple google search shows you the mind-blowing difference in the SRDs. WotC SRD is mainly focused around the Player's Handbook which released almost a decade ago. Paizo's SRD include most of the content of every book they've released. And that's after 4 years of Pathfinder 2E. Once again, we're not even discussing Pathfinder 1E and Starfinder.
