[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6683514, member: 2525"] No, this is not what they are doing. They've spoken out about this very issue, repeatedly, with multiple people. Freelancers have also spoken out about it from their end. All sources agree that WOTC's interaction with freelancers on these projects is actually MORE, not less, than it always was with prior editions. WOTC is doing more work, reviewing more, drafting more, analyzing more, communicating more, with the freelancers than they ever did under 3e or 4e. The only real difference is the names involved - instead of "Freelancer A, Freelancer B, and Freelancer C", it now instead says, "Company A, which is composed of Freelancers A, B, and C". Some people have (mistakenly) taken that to mean the projects were wholly farmed out to some third part company, but that's been spoken to very directly by WOTC and very clearly denied. And the freelancers who have spoken out since this controversy started also agree with WOTC on that point. And in particular, all NEW rules in any of the material in those joint ventures was vetted and created by WOTC. [/QUOTE]
