[QUOTE="Greg Benage, post: 8873077, member: 93631"] I'm just going to focus on this, because the whole post reads similarly. I agree that one could argue this. I think the available evidence suggests Wizards/Hasbro doesn't find the argument particularly persuasive. If we're trying to make sense of why they're doing this when (we think) it's "so little money," it doesn't really get us very far if we just keep repeating, "They shouldn't do this!" To be clear, [I]I[/I] don't want them to make the license more restrictive. There's nothing in it for me if they make the license more restrictive. If I'm honest, of course, the only reason I care about how much money 3PP's can make is that I want there to be lots of 3PP content, but as far as that goes, the more money they make the better. You said you were surprised about the royalty announcement, I speculated on some possible business reasons for it. I'm not arguing with you about what I want to happen. :) [/QUOTE]
