[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 8900657, member: 7030755"] It's [I]already[/I] a rug pull in the sense that 3pp (enworld included) are scrambling to scrub their content of SRD material, create or sign onto new licenses where appropriate, and figure out how to proceed with currently fulfilling and planned kickstarters for 2023. And they still don't know for sure what the terms of the OGL 2.0 are. All of this confusion was directly caused by wotc trying to shift licenses very quickly and without much transparency. Evil is hyperbole, but it is a dick move to treat one's business partners that way. Regardless of their [I]intent[/I], the [I]effect[/I] so far is that 3pp are less trusting of wotc as a business partner and are moving their products away from the OGL and the SRD. Even if their intent was very innocent (and not bullying, which I personally think is more likely), they've made it so it makes sense for 3pp to have little confidence in the OGL moving forward.
