[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9212018, member: 7035894"] Oh, yeah, I don't see any chance of legislation specifically aimed at DDB. For one thing, I don't think it remotely approaches normal definitions of monopolistic. For another, it's way too small potatoes. Any challenges will have to be grassroots, but I don't see resistance to DDB getting the same traction as the OGL debacle, for a variety of reasons: many folks basically agree with WotC's position, many folks directly benefit (right now) from the increased value, many see it as a separate issue from the OGL, etc. A lot of 3PP will have to shift to digital platforms of their own, if they have the resources, or make a deal with existing platforms, if they can. This could rapidly become a survival issue for many small companies. Speaking for myself, I simply won't buy a new system that doesn't have a digital platform, unless the game system is dead simple, like [I]Dread[/I] or something. DDB has spoiled me. [/QUOTE]
