If you were the owner of D&D, would you be keen on some deep-pocketed goon like Jeff Bezos dropping half a billion on making a D&D-based show for Prime that had most of the trappings of D&D from magic missiles to owlbears because he cited the OGL 1.0a? When the OGL was released, I think it's fair to say that nobody could see that possibility coming - but now...?I think there could be a community-friendly way to replace OGL 1.0a with something that would be widely acceptable, protected the ability of most 3pp to continue to continue to operate as they always have, and still serve as a way to require certain kinds of projects to have a more traditional license with Hasbro/WotC. Hasbro obviously took a different route in their efforts by unilaterally going nuclear, and that's a terrible wasted opportunity for them.</blockquote>
