[QUOTE="Terramotus, post: 4412410, member: 7220"] I expected that they wouldn't use the GSL - it's almost impossible to use. However, I'm sad that they're just not releasing anything. Hopefully this will convince WotC to modify the GSL to the level of "restrictive, but sane". The longer this draws out, the more WotC is leeching on my (and I'm sure others') goodwill towards them. They need to be careful. When people hate your company but enjoy your products, they start to look for ways to enjoy the product while supporting the company as little as possible. And no, I'm not advocating piracy (although that will be a consequence). There are lots of ways to do this, such as having a single group copy of a book for a group of 10 guys. People will stop making websites in support of the product, stop recommending it, stop running demo games at their local gamestores. WotC need to turn this around fast, before they start hurting themselves and the whole industry. I appreciate that the OGL isn't the way they want to go now... but I'm sorry, what's done is done. You can't take something like that away without incurring hate. [/QUOTE]
