Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

Hmmm. The chess pieces are definitely in motion. I suspect that WOTC is consolidating all the intellectual properties by bringing them all back under their wing. I expect shortly to hear similar announcements from or cease and desist to Athas.org, the Birthright site and others.
And if WOTC thought things were hostile with the Paizo affair ....

First Ravenloft last year (and other WW licences), then Paizo, than Dragonlance.
Is there a trend here ?
FYI, RL was put under the rug. What next?

Over the last year WotC has taken their IP licenses back from ...
WW - Ravenloft
CMP - E-Tools
Paizo - Dragon & Dungeon
Weis & Hickman - Dragonlance
Although total conjecture on my part, it seems likely that they are successfully reshaping the RPG industry to fit into some corporate plan.
I believe the idea that has been floating around of WotC wanting to have the sole site for "official" D&D / D20 errata, enhancements, and new material via the DI is the answer.
It also explains why no one from WotC has said anything in going on to 6 days now. They are waiting for all the bombs to drop. I just can't chalk this one up to coincidence. Not unless their management is totally incompetent, something that I simple don't believe.
So what will this reshaping of the RPG industry look like when its done?

Well, it was a good run...hopefully we get Races of Ansalon released....
What is really frustrating is that we'll never see a Taladas product now. They used the novel trilogy as a reason to hold off, until the series was done....now there'll be nothing.
Does withdrawal of a license typically mean that they can't reprint books also?
There's very little product worth buying coming out anymore....March and April didn't really have anything I was interested in from WotC.
Now with settings being shut down, and WotC only supporting two (barely) there's really not much reason to remain interested in anymore.
Iron Kingdoms and Midnight are the only other two I'm personally interested in buying, and neither one of them have been releasing much of anything lately.
