Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenmarable" data-source="post: 4624464" data-attributes="member: 40359">Basically I think the response to both of these is that WotC doesn't care. Scott Rouse made the post, all the major publishers (and apparently even all of the small ones as far as I can tell) complied and the d20 logo is gone. I do think WotC knows what they are doing, it's just not worth their time to clarify things since their intended purpose is done. They are busy people and we can debate all we want here on this forum, but WotC wanted the d20 STL to go away, publishers followed along, end of story in WotC's eyes. No big bullies, no 3 PP's caving in, no automatic assumption that WotC is in the wrong. Just WotC wanted X to happen, and it happened.I think it's a fun academic exercise in contract analysis to debate whether WotC legally did enough or not, but that won't put d20 logos back on the books. My point is that it doesn't matter how much Morrus has WotC's ear, and what he or any other publisher knows. I entered that contract with WotC (as did Andreas, I assume). What WotC has or has not said to Morrus has no bearing whatsoever on my contract with WotC, as it has no bearing on Andreas' contract with WotC. Hundreds of other people are in the same legally-binding contract with WotC.Also, we're not claiming WotC has done something wrong as in "they did a bad thing". It's clearer (for me at least) to say that for X to happen, they needed to do Y. But they did Z instead, so therefore X hasn't happened. It's not a PR blunder. It's not them being bad. They were just supposed to do Y and didn't. That's all.</blockquote>
