[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8904199, member: 6879661"] I won’t speak for other folks 10th manning this like myself. But I personally enjoy these boards, enjoy 5e, am looking forward to enjoying one D&D and manage a decent sized business with many customers so have some sympathy for the way that company decisions and customers decisions don’t always align. Not that most of the people posting here are WotC customers - in fact they seem to be the opposite. I’m concerned that an activist mob mentality will create a divisive - antagonist approach to the OGL which will only end in tears for both parties. I’m concerned that folks who actively want to hurt and are advocated burning WotC down are given license to spread hate in a place where I actually come to enjoy a nice read and a chat. I’m concerned that employees just going about their business in a way that you disagree with are open to mockery, criticism and hate. Which I don’t think would have been allowed ok on this forum prior to this. I’m concerned that some 3pp are making hasty business decisions that I believe they could come to regret in the future because they are resistant to change and unwilling to adapt their thinking. I’m concerned that litigation could end up with WotC spinning off from 5e altogether and I like the current measured approach WotC are taking. Essentially the forums are turning into an echo chamber where anyone who isn’t with the OGL movement is a collaborator. That’s what you mean when you say White Knighting right? We just don’t hate WotC like you do and changing the OGL hasn’t wiped out our goodwill to them and would like folks to put the brakes on before it all ends in tears. [/QUOTE]
