[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8942577, member: 58172"] A great interview by both Ted Sikora (Nerd Immersion) and Kyle Brink (WotC). The responses by Brink came across as genuine, with comments that rang true. (The 5e designers had nothing to do with the ap-OGL-ypse. WotC realized in hindsight that the original OGL and its SRD content are inherently safe for WotC branding. The consumers of D&D products are inherently all "creatives", and to support creatives is the best way to build the WotC brand − rather than imposing a structure that privileges WotC control. To be a creative among other creatives is the best business strategy. And so on.) At the same time, the occasional skepticism by Sikora about certain spins felt measured and fair. (Such as: Doubting the decision to change the OGL was about purely about ethical content or changing technologies. Noting the closer relationship between WotC executives and D&D designers might prove to be good or bad.) It was wise for Brink to seek out an interview by Sikora, who was vocally critical of WotC. Sikora handled the interview responsibly and constructively. Both are a credit to the 5e community. [/QUOTE]
