[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8873918, member: 22779"] I don't need to though. I just need to tell you within 650 000 dollars how much they made. 2021, WotC is reported to make 816 million dollars according to my very quick Google search. Granted, they don't break it down between Magic and D&D and other brands, but, I know how much they made. Are you seriously suggesting that WotC will require more detail than this? "How much money in sales did your OGL products make in the past year?" is going to be the extent of the question. Since they don't care until you hit that 700k mark, why would they need any more detail than that? Hell, like I said, the simple Y/N question is potentially all they will ask. We know that they will ask something. We don't know what specifically. Which brings me right back around to the hyperbolic comparisons of the titanic hitting an iceberg and a potential murderer invading your home. Yes, I am quite aware what anaolgy means and I know that you are picking very specific ones to connote a very specific meaning to cast WotC as the villain despite having zero information or reason. At the moment, all we know is that they will require some form of income reporting. We have no idea what form that will take. You are presuming that it will be invasive and objectionable. I am presuming nothing and am perfectly willing to wait a couple of weeks while they prepare what the actual terms will be. Considering this won't actually apply until, what, more than a year in the future, there's LOTS of time to ready your torches and pitchforks without working yourself up on completely fabricated hypotheticals.
