So sixteen years later, they still supported the OGL. It wasn’t hated the minute it came out — WOTCs own attitudes (or more likely the people in power at the time) changed over the years. They liked it in 2001, they didn’t like it in 2012, they liked it in 2016, they didn’t like it in 2022, they liked it in 2023. Here’s hoping they like it enough to follow through with their intention to put out the 5.2 SRD. I heard a theory from someone in the know recently that an intention of WOtC with the 5.2 SRD could be to get more publishers writing D&D 2024 compatible material so they can see who are successful at its and then bring them onto D&D Beyond. It’s basically what they wanted with their OGL revocation without the drama.</blockquote>
