[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 4407710, member: 53"] I hear a lot of comments like this that seem to imply that WotC has a single point of view. I realize it's often just an intentional simplification (and likely is in Dr. Awkward's case, for example), but that attitude is out there. I believe that attitude is wrong. Based on various comments, I personally feel that many at WotC aren't happy with the approach that was finally released. Clark keeps mentioning the Rouse and Linae, and I suspect that's because he feels they have his POV. The problem is that there are different concerns from different parts of the company. Clearly the final GSL came out after a lot of wrangling and internal conflict within WotC. The fact that they went out of their way to invite the 3rd parties to a meeting to reassure they were part of the plan last GenCon shows a completely different approach than the final GSL has. The GSL was delayed for months after promises that it was almost there. There were even statements that they wanted free products out on Free RPG Day, and clearly they abandoned that plan. That, to me, shows that everyone at WotC doesn't feel the same about the GSL. Clark is likely hoping that there will be changes after internal discussions continue. I also suspect that much of his reticence is due to the vagueness of much of the license. That must drive the lawyer part of his mind crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if that issue isn't the primary reason he decided not to go with it, after wrestling with ways to get something out. It's very clear he does want to release 4E products, he just doesn't see the license as something that he can publish under. [/QUOTE]
