So the d20 logo didn't help licensees sell books. Not really. In 2000, yeah, new companies got into stores on the d20 logo. But since then, it's had no value. Creating the d20 logo was a mistake but it doesn't support your conspiracy the way you think it does.So did the d20STL. This is not a new restriction. How does the GSL having the same restriction as the d20STL make your case for you?Um, most products cost more today because paper and shipping prices have gone up. Pricing of WotC has not really gone up faster than pricing on other RPGs. What data are you using for this?Simply announcing 4e did this. Jerking around the 3pps access to 4e had nothing to do with this. Most did not release products after the 4e announcement because they didn't expect to make sufficient sales for a dead product line. Remember, they thought they were moving to 4e with WotC. Had the rules been made available to them, there would be no Pathfinder and little other support for 3.5 today.This was also forbidden under the d20 logo. Again, nothing new here.</blockquote>
