My goal here is to say what I—myself personally—really want. Not to ‘sagely’ predict the actions of WOTC or the ORC team.hey, this list is not about what WOTC ‘wants’ to do. We see that what WOTC/Ha$bro ‘wants’ is a future (now) where millions of sheepy chumps are milked by dazedly doling out the coin needed to sustain their 6- or 7-figure salaries for the next 20 years, while destroying all the lovely 3PPs.F*** the Harkonnens!like i said in the list: there would be three gains from making SRDs for the older editions and also allowing them for DMs Guild:1) It is an ‘extra-healing’ gesture of goodwill, within a suite of actions that are offered not just to return to a neutral pre-fiasco status quo, but to move forward with the community in newfound trust and warmth. I personally am not gonna be like: "oh, they backed down from revoking OGL 1.0. Ah okay, we're all good. Num num here's my coiny coin."2) The Legacy Edition creator content on DMs Guild would provide revenue for WOTC. Tho hypothetically wouldn’t need an open SRD for that, it would be synergistic. Would also fuel sales of classic pdfs.3) Playing older editions does fuel the general interest in D&D culture, which fuels interest in D&D novels, media, etc.A ‘loss’? Or a continual opportunity? WOTC would be able to see what Legacy features are actually more popular and playable than the latest ‘advancements’. And thus adjust 6E (and 7E) in that direction.there ya go! thats what i like to hear! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🧡" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f9e1.png" title="Orange heart    :orange_heart:" data-shortname=":orange_heart:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />yeah reallyIm not the only one calling for Legacy SRDs as an action of healing. Its important to say what we really want, without self-censoring based on pre-conceived notions. All 8 points I made are humanly doable. If WOTC execs can make the ‘bold’ ‘impossible’ action of revoking the OGL, they can take bold ‘impossible’ actions of amends and healing.If WOTC had opened DMs Guild creation to the Legacy Editions years ago, they could have pocketed a large chunk of <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="💰" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f4b0.png" title="Money bag    :moneybag:" data-shortname=":moneybag:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> that instead went to retroclones such as OSE/Necrotic Gnome.</blockquote>
