[QUOTE="Dustin_00, post: 8913929, member: 67282"] Wizards is no longer trust worthy. They want to change the rules and reserve the right to change the rules any time again that they want to. 3PP publishing schedules and kickstarters have been thrown into chaos, hurting hundreds of employees that started the new year thinking they had paying work to do. 1,500 and climbing have signed on to the #ORC project to produce an ecosystem that is fair and stable for all these companies and 3PP creators. A way forward where no company can harm the other companies with legal bullying. Supporting all of them over the one company that wants to burn all of them without warning isn't spite. It's compassion for people's lives and careers. Can we have a better gaming sphere by removing 1 company? Yes. Can we protect hundreds or maybe thousands of others by removing 1 company? Yes. Can we have an ecosystem where companies can plan out years of work, give players a long-term path forward by removing 1 company? Yes. Does having solid multi-year plans enable companies to offer stable employment and rich product growth for players? Yes. What is the value of protecting the one company that is legendary for hiring for one cycle then firing everyone? [/QUOTE]
