[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8927626, member: 7030563"] They did not "try" to cancel the OGL 1.0a. They intended to cancel OGL 1.0a, they tried to get a number of publishers to agree to cancel it and they tried to convince the community that this would be ok once this was leaked and they failed at both of those things. To use the point a gun at your head analogy that everyone has thrown around - Pointing a gun at someone's head is not the same as killing someone and it is not the same as "trying" to kill someone and you can't trutfully say they murdered you or someone or attempted to murder you if they point a gun at you. As for me, I remember clearly what happened. I signed both petitions, sent an email to DNDbeyond, stopped using DNDbeyond in games, filled out their survey, got about 10 players in my gaming groups to fill out the survey and finally I actually typed up letters to 3 WOTC employees (Brink, Cao, Williams) and 1 Hasbro employee (Cox), bought envelopes, stuck stamps on them and mailed them to the WOTC and Hasbro headquarters respectively.
