[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8910773, member: 6778210"] My source [B][I]is that article:[/I][/B] So please, stop spreading misinformation trying to stop the current moment. Explain to me why it won't happen? Because here's the thing: just creating ORC doesn't suddenly prevent this. OGL 1.0a is still a crucial part of what's going on. And again, if Wizards wants to follow through it either has to scare [I][B]everyone [/B][/I]or go to court. I see the latter being much more likely. Uh, all those companies are saying what I'm saying, not what you're saying. Be aware, the choice you are making is for any 3PP to become permanent serfs of Wizards, to constantly have the threat of dissolution because Wizards can basically cancel their entire catalogue if they agree to the new "OGL". You said they are already committed to destroying 1.0a, so it's not about wording here. Feedback is meaningless when they are going to do exactly what they don't want us to do. This is a weird line of argumentation when your previous lines on this are basically "This is going to happen and nothing you do can stop it". I take a different view: I'm going to try and stop it, and if not then Wizards can do what they want without myself and many others. If you want to negotiated, that is [I]much better[/I] position compared to open supplication. There aren't any million dollar PF2 kickstarters [B][I]because[/I][/B] we have one big dominant company. This whole argument misses that the most stifling part of the industry is WotC's own dominance of it. 3PP will continue on, just as they did with 4E: that didn't hurt the industry, just Wizards. With the massive expansion of the market since then, it'd totally be better to have multiple companies as entries rather than relying on one megacompany that dominates everything. Long story short: Wizards being the God-king of RPG companies is not a plus, but a minus. [/QUOTE]
