[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 4669333, member: 13107"] I see two questions here (IMO): 1) [i]Will[/i] WotC license their older properties? 2) [i]Should[/i] WotC license their older properties? My own answers are: 1) For the most part, no. They are wanting to avoid lessening demand for their new 4E brand. 2) Answer 1: Yes. They sold product to customers who, in good faith, presumed that WotC would continue to support those products, at least minimally. 2) Answer 2: Yes. The reduction in demain to 4E would be small, and the benefit to the community large. 2) Answer 3: No. WotC does not have the resources to manage (even) licensing the content to third parties. 2) Answer 4: No. That would reduce demand for 4E. (IMO) The answer is really 2.4. (Side note: [I]In my mind[/I], WotC is not acting as a producer in good faith because they do not adopt answer 2.1.) [/QUOTE]
