[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8873227, member: 22779"] My posts are certainly not long enough that fisking is required. My point is, reporting how many sales you had last year is hardly the same as opening your books. It's a fairly public number anyway. If someone wants to do the legwork, they could likely make a pretty educated guess. It's not like they're asking for trade secrets or anything like that. "If you made more than 50 grand in sales last year, please let us know." And, we have no idea what the question might actually be. It could be as simple as, "Did you make more than 50k in sales last year? Y/N" Followed by "Did you have sales of more than 750 k? Y/N" Again, they are not asking you to report your entire business. They are asking "Did you have sales of more than 50k", full stop. That's ALL we know for now. I'm sorry, but, is that really that much of an ask? They didn't say that they want a full break down of your income. They aren't asking to see your tax files. They are asking you to self report if you made more than 50 grand in a year. Now, if it goes further than that, then fair enough. But, right now, all they are asking (a VERY small number of creators) is for you to self-report if you made more than 50 grand on OGL stuff in the last year. And, yeah, "My D&D product was so popular that I have to report it to WotC" isn't exactly bad press for a 3pp. You see it right now on DM's Guild - a Platinum or Gold seller badge prominently displayed on various products. Knowing that someone is selling that much does increase interest. [/QUOTE]
