[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 5931606, member: 83822"] Where are you getting this information about Wizards' specific concerns that we are supposed to address? Where have Wizards' outlined their point of view? Why do you believe that Wizards' point of view is that the OGL is bad for their business? They presumably thought that going in to 4E; they may not still think that. Furthermore, I don't want an OGL that 'addresses the issue from WOTC's point of view', or at least your interpretation of Wizards' point of view (no competing games, no repackaged rules, no competing electronic tools). That would be no OGL at all—as I said above, it would look just like the GSL and I don't want that licence again. Finally, you can sell product by convincing people that that product is good for them. In fact, it happens at least as often as the second option you suggested—responding to the perceived wishes of the customer. We don't know what Wizards' current opinion is. Wizards had the data in 2000 when they decided to go with the OGL, and they had the data in 2008 when they decided to go with the GSL. Presumably, they misinterpreted the data in at least one of those two occasions. You asked for hard evidence that the OGL is preferable to the alternatives. What hard evidence would you like us to provide? [/QUOTE]
