We've had lawyers, involved individuals and companies proclaim things on every point of the legal continuum. The main takeaway from this whole affair is that we just don't know. And WoTC will exploit this legal ambiguity and the shadow threat of lawsuits to force their way through this.And they haven't walked back on almost everything. They walked back on a handful of hyper-restrictive clauses that are now only super-restrictives. The one thing they need to do, which is to not deauthorize the previous versions of the OGL hasn't been done yet. Unless they update the OGL and make it irrevocable or move the OGL into the hands of a neutral party like Paizo intends to do with the ORC, then it's no good.It's useless to go after the leadership. Leadership changes quite often. Shareholders remain and their strategy doesn't change, they want more value out of the corporation they own. Cocks, Williams and Rawson could all leave and others would take their place.The fact that the damage is already done is a terrible reason to stop boycotting a corporation. You boycott a corporation because they're walking a bad path, yes. But if they keep on it then you don't stop. What kind of message is that sending? If you push through with your naughty word practices, we'll stop boycotting you. The fact that damage was done is the reason for the boycott.Forgotten Realms is a property of the greedy shareholders that are currently attempting to destroying the whole industry and twenty years of material. I don't see how you liking a setting has anything to do with that? Forgotten Realms does not need that movie. All the movie is gonna do is lead to them selling stickers, and T-shirts, and plastic toys, and mugs and every type of garbage they can churn out. It will not lead to a careful and respectful handling of the source material.</blockquote>
