We want to have assurance that they're not going to go back on their word and that has to be in writing and that already is in writing in 1.0a. All they need to do is add the words irrevocable to that.So they want two weeks for people to fill out the survey and there is no deadline on when they respond to the survey. What they're trying to do is buy for time, hope that the storm blows over so that they can do something in the future. They want people to stop unsubscribing from D&D Beyond and stop declaring they're moving away from D&D with the hope that they are "listening" through this formality of a process.A survey also has the conveniece of them saying we are not going to comment on your demands because we're waiting for the survey. Of course we should not relent in our demand that they declare that they will not revoke the OGL. Now they are biding for time.'[MEDIA=youtube]V2NiN511jZs:512[/MEDIA]The survey is a delay tactic to try to buy time. THEY ALREADY KNOW OUR FEEDBACK: DON'T REVOKE THE OGL.3:47 in the video'Nobody reads anything you write in the survey for Unearthed Arcana or the OneD&D playtests, absolutely nobody. I've been told that by people working with the creative team who say, nope, no one sees it, and I've been told it by people on the digital side who said, even when they request that information they don't get it.'"We don't care about actual feedback - we're making the next version of the rules, not our customers. What we do care about is that they will be positively received."'They don't read it you guys. ... when someone asked them, well why do you collect it if we don't read it, the answer they gave was, "because if we don't, then they'll just send it to us as emails, tweet threads, forums etc. This way, we channel them to not be disruptive."''This sounds good until you realize that the surveys don't actually do anything. They're just used to collect broad satisfaction levels, but what's really important is that second part about how the surveys are only there to channel people's feedback into a place where it isn't public to stop us being "disruptive." That is what they're trying to do here as well.'[MEDIA=youtube]Mr9WDUCK5aQ:227[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
