[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8928528, member: 7030563"] But the OGL controls the market. The OGL affords the content that those youtubers talk about. Now if you don't care about them as creators, fine. People have rightly said many times 5E grew because of the publishers, fan community (including youtubers) and WOTC working together. That is true and WOTC profited greatly from OGL 1.0a, more than any other entity. But they grew together and if that relationship is fractured they will all suffer. I would argue that 3rd party creators will suffer the worst, followed by WOTC and then the fan community the least. We can all move on to other games, but other games are not going to be as easy to find. Sure if your family and neighbors are all you care about and if you can convince them to move on then you personally won't suffer, but if the community that is 5E today fractures it is going to be much tougher to find games with people you don't know.
