[QUOTE="Uta-napishti, post: 8866699, member: 7026422"] No, you're right, CR probably didn't ask for permission at all, and used non-SRD proprietary player's handbook stuff on the air even, so the OGL changes wouldn't hurt or help them exactly, The other two examples stand. I think for streamers it's more that these changes are a signal that if you get too successfull in the DnD ecosystem in any medium. Wizards is going to show up rattling a moneybox. MCDM and Kobold Press are on Notice, because their kickstarters won't stay under 750K per year. I have nothing against WoTC making Ocean liners full of money, what sickens me is the mountains of cash aren't enough that they can't keep themselves from trying to now skim even more off of everyone else in the ecosystem that they built up through the previous open license space. I'm not even completely convinced that they [B]are[/B] trying to make more money from ecosystem royalties vs the much blunter, dumber goal of discouraging competition before it starts for new projects like D&DBeyond Ongoing Subscription $.
