[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8928138, member: 7030563"] You may not need WOTC, but 3rd party creators (both game and fan content) clearly do need them. TTRPGs will survive, and so will WOTC, but it is not certain that people like D&D shorts, Ginny Di, Treantmonk, Dungeon Dudes and thousands of smaller creators will survive without D&D being ubiquitous and successful. Some of them might, but many, probably the majority, will not. Many people were against the OGL revokation specifically because of what it would do to these creators, it would attack their livlihood. They would not be allowed to publish D&D content and their business would fail. Attacking the game itself and refusing to buy D&D content will do the same thing to these creators that the OGL revokation would have done - their businesses will fail. To make matters worse, it would do it to them with no legal recourse through the courts. With this course of action, the TTRPG community would do the very thing to these creators that they allegedly wanted to stop WOTC from doing to them. [/QUOTE]
