[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8910755, member: 6778210"] No, this is wrong. The 5 digits are not cancellations, they are [I]deletions[/I]. Just accounts completely gone. This is different from, say, what I have done and simply cancelled my subscription. Uh, [I]why[/I]? It's still up in the air whether or not OGL 1.0a goes away, whether it be Wizards' choice or in a courtroom. You talk about bruised egos, but the person who did the wrong thing here is Wizards. They are the ones who clearly had bruised egos when they also claimed victory. I don't see any reason to forgive a company that has been recklessly going after their partners, breaking contracts, and just acting in bad faith all around. In fact, it makes me want to [I]never [/I]forgive them because they haven't shown any sort of contrition. At all. They've just tried to keep it more under wraps. Honestly, I don't get this sort of defense of Wizards. It's just kind of sad. There's no reason to be this attached to a set of rules or a company, especially when they act in such a malicious and destructive manner to the hobby. If Wizards wants forgiveness, it's a two-way street. Just begging people to stop and give in because Wizards is giving table scraps or things they can easily take away is just incredibly wrong-headed and weird. Not when they can just kill any 3PPs at their whim. They'd be constantly living as hostages where their entire output could be destroyed if they did not do what WotC wanted. Alternatively it makes them permanent hostages of Wizards, who can decide whatever terms they want in the future. Splitting up the market would be way better than allowing someone to behead it any any given moment, especially when it comes to getting away from having a massive market leader who can do such things.
