[QUOTE="Knuffeldraak, post: 8886388, member: 7039892"] To be fair, that's just conjecture. There's no perceiveable way to "know" that. We only know that anyone that does make 50k-750k a year will need to provide transparancy on their revenue. Whatever ill intent non-officials [I]think[/I] WOTC would have with this info, is simply doomspeak. Which doesn't help anyone except just create more drama. Also; while they absolutely can change their terms, they cannot forcibly apply it to any prior (ie; grandfathered) agreements w/o settling for a new agreement, and they have always to provide these new terms on a timely manner. Hence why the royalties change is in effect no earlier than 2024. Are you referring to the Kickstarter that yielded 800k? (also, to be fair, despite this kickstarter his yearly revenue stands on a whopping 1.9 million as 5e Content Creator and illustrator). But then, yeah, this example is one of the things the new OGL would fall under. I believe this one was even named in specific. Even then, explosions like this don't even incur less than you think. If you had a goal to raise 400k, and you earn 800k instead, you only pay 12.5k in royalties (25% of 50k). You still would raise a total of 788.5k. WOTC wouldn't even end up getting 2% of that. The emphasis is on that the threshold begins, and only then and there, at 750k. So even if you earn 750.001 dollars in a year, WOTC only ends up getting 25 cents :LOL: [/QUOTE]
