Who decided to participate

[VictorC]

I was wondering if we know who, if any publishers payed for an advanced copy of the 4th edition olg. I haven't been on line much lately, so it's possible I missed it.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

No one. The process isn't at that stage yet.

 

[Clueless]

I don't even want to think what that's doing to production schedules.

 

[Morrus]

Publishers haven't seen the GSL yet; the $5000 bit comes after that.

 

[Eytan Bernstein]

A number of publishers are considering it, but most probably don't want to say anything official until everything is settled and they're sure they want to go through with it.
