[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4159293, member: 2525"] So we should hold a second poll. Option 1 will be "I will buy 4e regardless of 3rd parties being able to make 4e products" Option 2 will be "I will buy 4e as long as some 3rd parties can make 4e products (I don't care if it's through openness or special licensing)". Option 3 will be "I will only buy 4e if it is at least somewhat open" Option 4 will be "I will only buy 4e if it is fully open" Option 5 will be "I won't be buying 4e regardless" Option 6 will be "Other". How much you want to bet you get results that run contrary to your above assumption? I am betting openness itself doesn't matter to people nearly as much as the ability of 3rd parties to make 4e products in some manner. The difference between "Openness" and "Special License" is subtle enough that your average player just doesn't care nearly as much as us lawyers or game makers care about that topic. [/QUOTE]
