[QUOTE="Condiments, post: 8942458, member: 6802006"] I hope WotC learns from this large mistake. However, I'm still skeptical going forward that the future of one D&D still looks turbulent. I mean, I was one of the people that thought all the hate on One D&D when it was announced was over blown until the OGL debacle... then it all sort of clicked into place. Hasbro still intends to heavily monetize the brand. They've invested tens of millions into this new digital infrastructure and VTT. There is no backing down from that level of investment. The new OGL was probably the tip of the iceberg for what's coming. The problem has always been that D&D occupies too much marketshare. Any entity that gets that big without sufficient competition has carte blanche to exploit its consumer base with little recourse. It's still way too early to tell they're taking this new edition in a good direction. [/QUOTE]
