Like D&D2.) Dislike WotC (or the current direction WotC is going, blah blah blah)3.) Have a vested interest in selling you 3pp products that replace WotC's offerings. Which makes the panic-induction twofold. First, it reinforces the notion that WotC doesn't care about the game, only money (whereas I, the humble 3pp, care deeply about the game, buy my stuff) and second, it creates the panic that greedy WotC is going to FORCE you to buy its soulless, microtransaction-filled content while suppressing my heart-felt and lovingly crafted works of art. The call to action, of course, is to tell WotC to back off any changes to the OGL while simultaneously not buying their products and buying my stuff instead. Oh, and drop a like on this vid for the algothrim and support my patreon, thanks.Now, I have nothing bad to say about people who make 3pp content and sell it. But I do think a select group of the people who have been whipping up the stir on Open D&D hashtags are using it to sell the "WotC bad, by MY stuff" line, which doesn't exactly make them neutral arbiters in the conversation. Convincing you that WotC is corporate and out-of-touch while they have the pulse of what the fans furthers their bottom line.</blockquote>
