[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9289842, member: 82524"] Fixed. The OGL thing was a statement of intent. And that intent was to create a chilling effect. No, they can't win a lawsuit, but as so many powerful people and companies already know, [I]you don't have to win the lawsuit to destroy smaller targets[/I]. That's the problem. Until they openly and directly signal that they are no longer a threat to indie creators in the way they positioned themselves, we can't afford to let off the pressure. Because until it's not possible for them to try again, they will. Saying we don't need WotC is missing the point. Because we need an absence of WotC's shadow looming over the creative space. And also, we can't let the other stuff they've done go by saying 'corp's gonna corp', because that means they feel they have free reign to corp--which we should never let any of them get away with.
