[QUOTE="Composer99, post: 8899609, member: 7030042"] Wizards wants D&D to be a brand, and sure, it might take on the facsimile of one. But D&D [I]isn't[/I] a brand - at least, I don't think so. It's a game, a hobby, a community, a way of life, a through-line of continuity despite changes stretching almost fifty years. Even if D&D-as-commercial-product takes a serious hit as a result of The OGL Affair, even if our sentiment regarding it is spoiled by the behaviour of WotC or by our fellow hobbyists, even if we mourn what we felt about the game as recently as a few weeks ago or as far back as the turn of the century (or longer!) - [I]D&D lives on in our hearts[/I], and I for one hope it always will. (By we I mean the wider community of D&D hobbyists/gamers [I]writ large[/I]. There are those for whom the love of the game has gone, and that's quite all right!) [/QUOTE]
