The statement contains obvious lies about intention and still suggests that they're planning to smother the larger creative community. Critical failure.
Yup, still trying to claim a right and deauthorize 1.0a. G'dangit!!How very kind of them to give us six months to keep selling existing OGL products before we will be banned from doing it. Can't wait to see this go to court..

"we are including a six-moth grace period that gives creators the same benefits for those projects as a license under the OGL 1.0a if their product meets certain criteria (it's the type of work that could be licensed under 2.0 and it would have met the requirements to be licensed under 1.0a had we not deauthorized it)."
Yep. Only further erodes trust. Trust is essential to using the OGL because there’s always a risk assessment involved. Wotc has changed everyone’s calculus now.Yup, still trying to claim a right and deauthorize 1.0a. G'dangit!!
It makes their entire "update" today seem so mealy mouthed. They deflect and discuss other parts without ever really addressing the bugbear in the room -- because they don't seem to be willing to actually walk it back.
It's a variation on the old-as-time "think of the children".The OSR community on reddit was worried that a recent PBS article was a hit piece. One of them reached out to the academic quoted in the article. While he won’t say he was misquoted, his research doesn’t appear to be represented correctly in the article.
And here is WotC’s response with protecting D&D from bigoted content as the first of their reasons for the change. Were they right? Can we expect WotC to double down on using that as a shield from criticism as more changes are made? SMH
If this continues to be Hasbro/Wotc's stance then...How very kind of them to give us six months to keep selling existing OGL products before we will be banned from doing it. Can't wait to see this go to court..
