[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8884126, member: 67338"] I mean we have had "what if they took out the OGL" threads on here since 4e. SO no it's not that nobody thought they could it's that popular opnion was it would be hard to not possible. I never said it wasn't possible they change the fan policy, I said there is no reason to assume they will and worry about it now. So far the new OGL isn't fully open and isn't as generous as the old... but it still allows for 80-90% of creators (those making less then $750k a year) to keep on going with only a little change. I work 40-50 hours a week, my fiancé is closer to 40-42 and just picked up a side job for 8-10 more hours (at better pay) starting next week. My mother lives with us and gets both retirement, social security AND a pay out from and IRA (mandatory min pay outs) if you add all 3 of us together we don't make 750k a year. If you add my friend who works at a comic shop, and my friend that works at Walmart in to make 5 of us (even though we don't live together) we don't make $750k a year. (TBF I did choose the lowest paid friends not the highest there) There are problems. There are REAL victims, including the guy who makes it possible to have this conversation... you a fan with some fan works are NOT the victim here. People could lose there main source of income over this. Keep that in mind. [/QUOTE]
