[QUOTE="rgard, post: 8888389, member: 4157"] Eventually you run out of people to sell your core rulebooks to. If you want to keep your folks employed you have to look at creating new editions of the game. I don't begrudge them that ever, but I do have a problem with repealing the OGL everybody has been using. It's silly in a way in that a lot if not most folks will move on to the new edition. They were going to remain the industry leader regardless. I doubt that stopping people from making stuff for sale using the old OGL for OSR, 3.5E and 5E is going to make a whole lot of difference in how much money Hasbro makes from the next edition. They could have just created a new OGL for this next iteration of the game and left the old OGL in place for previous editions. Hasbro/WotC will be dead to me if they go ahead with revoking the original OGL. Do they care? No. Do I care that they don't care? Not really at this point, it is what it is. I'll be fine spending my money on non-D&D RPGs and accessories. [/QUOTE]
