[QUOTE="GVDammerung, post: 4409129, member: 33060"] I'm not shocked or stunned Necro is not going 4e. For reasons others have well explained, the GSL is problematic in the extreme. What shocks and surprises me is that Necro is _still_ holdoing out hope for a change, modification or "clarification" (that would change the legal essence of the existing language) to the GSL. Its unfathomable. Paens by Necro to Scott and Linea are funny as they have ZERO control over the content of the GSL or it would not now read as it does. The thought that Wotc having labored to produce the GSL (giving the matter thought as to what they wanted and imagining their lawyers knew what they were writing) would now change it is sidesplitting. The underlying thought - that Wotc the company gives a rip about some 3rd Party Publisher's concerns - is even more laughable, given that the GSL took as long as it did and reads as it does. I see no objective reason to imagine ANY changes or "clarifications" will be forthcoming, and I would be stunned and surprised if they did. The interesting question to me is - how long Necro will wait at the alter for the groom who never shows up? The GSL dates come and go - and Necro waits. The GSL arrives - and Necro waits. Complaints about the GSL arise - and Necro waits. Other 3PPs abandon the GSL - and Necro waits. Necros seeks "clarifications" to no observeable effect - and Necro waits. How long will will Necro wait? How long will it whistfully hope that its 4e prince will come? How long until the cold hard light of day makes the painfully obvious impossible to ignore - Wotc has gilted its Necro lover. 6 months from now does Necro admit the GSL is the GSL? A year? Two? I can see it now - 5e is announced. Necro greets the announcement with a statement that it hopes to have its concerns with the 4e GSL resolved "soon." This isn't "sad." Its funny as a crutch. "Hey, Moe! Nuck, nuck, nuck!" [/QUOTE]
