[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8912112, member: 6704184"] I mean even the head of games at KS acknowledged that the numbers don’t work for most publishers in this deal. Yeah like most of the OGL was probably fair use anyway, but only if you’d reworded some stuff and used different verbiage. People built careers and businesses on the understanding that they could, instead, be in the clear while literally using copy and paste on the core rules they’re building on. For 20 years. Because wotc represented to them that this was the case. Regardless of original intent, that’s a hell of a bait and switch. No wonder Dancy is so mad about it. They’re trying to exploit a good thing he did and turn it into a trap that no one would have opened themselves up to if Ryan hadn’t told them it was safe. 😬 [/QUOTE]
