[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 8896517, member: 6843593"] There is a near zero chance that any investor will care about some obscure, non-D&D branded, not Hasbro published book that causes a Twitter storm. This is a completely stretched past any reasonable chance. The bigger risk is actually with the proposed branding because it will be splashed with official trade dress accepted by the brand. There is absolutely nothing to stop that from coming out. Sure, they can demand it get pulled off the market, but it will be all over social media and in the news that like to sensationalize it. Otherwise, read the Wallstreet Journal or Barrons or take advantage of the free Bloomberg subscription period and see what investing professionals look at. They actually will care about plummeting D&D Beyond subscriptions and managment fumbling the brand. Not any of the fanciful conjectures made in this thread to support the need to end the current OGL because of the non-existent threat. You don’t even need 3rd parties, WoTC just printed the slave monkeys themselves with zero help from anyone else. A few “stonks” got the boiler room social media push and exposed some shorts, but that was to the upside. [/QUOTE]
