Good Video: DTRPG Was Prepared to Remove OGL 1.0(a) Titles

 

So Wizards are "good stewards" of the hobby? We can trust them again, right?

Their actions almost removed hundreds, if not thousands, of indie games from online PoD and PDF stores, and those stores would go along with it? Paizo and everyone else would have been hit.

And you know this would have sparked a massive increase in "illegal online sharing" as a result? And not just the books people couldn't get would be shared illegally - but everyone's, including Wizards? I do not condone or support piracy, but what do you think will happen if you take these books down?

Everyone dodged a bullet here. Indie creators and market leaders. Wizards almost destroyed the PoD and PDF fantasy gaming market and hurt their sales.

This entire situation keeps getting worse, not better. The more we learn, the worse it gets. This also looks horrible for the companies that went along with this and did not fight for us as a community.

Anyone involved needs to be replaced from the top down.

And this gives me more reasons not to trust companies who put greed ahead of customers.

Nope, not going back.
