[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8892335, member: 58197"] Also a subject line, and a lot of ASCII characters. Totally sketchy, that. Come on. I don't say it's for-sure real, we can't know that, but it's just the kind of e-mail you would expect from a disgruntled Wizards employee who was a fan of the OGL (as many of the rank and file are), royally narked off at leadership, and saw the current furor as an opportunity to strike a blow for the things they believe in. And the call to action is exactly what many people had already figured out: Wizards is going hard on digital, they just laid out big money for D&D Beyond, and every company loves subscription revenue. It's not rocket science to guess that canceling your sub will get their attention. I did it two days ago and I've been urging others to do the same. It's good to maintain a little skepticism, but the leaks in this whole sorry business have proven true again and again and again, all the way back to November when rumors started circulating that they were going to get rid of the OGL and most of us (certainly including me) were pooh-poohing the idea.
