FFG is still putting out books for their Midnight setting.

What was the release date for the GSL?Olaf the Stout said:I'd call it a fiasco. In my opinion 4E would be considered a fiasco if the release date for it was missed by a couple of months and they then couldn't tell people when they expected to release it.
The release date for the GSL for early adopters was January, IIRC.ainatan said:What was the release date for the GSL?
ainatan said:I just think all this GSL talking and how it is important to 4E's success is incredibly over-exaggerated. Plain and simple.
Me too, but I thought it wouldn't last. It always looked, at least to me, that it was more beneficial to 3pp than to WOTC.Azogue said:I know you don't feel the same way, which is fine by me, but I really liked the OGL,
ainatan said:Do you really think M&M, True20 or Pathfindering can really compete with D&D, or even have any influence at all on 4E's success? Exalted has more chances than those.
If half the D&D players out there knows what Paizo is, that's already a big achievement.

Hold on there. IIRC:Moon-Lancer said:You could be right that third party dev's are rather small in the grand scheme of things.
But imagine this. You pay 5000$ for a service or product that you expect to receive. Its vital to a your business' future. You never receive this service. Is this right? you payed 5000$ for something you never got. to small companies thats alot of money.
I think wizards or Hasbro has made a colossal mistake and its fracturing the current market.
They have also put themselves in a position to be sued, at least from my uneducated perspective.
The sad thing is that the gsl will be delayed for everyone else as well unless the few companies that paid the 5000$ don't actually receive it first.
Did that information change?WOTC said:Phase One publishers who sign a NDA will have the opportunity to read the OGL before they pay the $5000 early licensing fee.
