Wizards of the Coast Breaks Silence on Dungeons and Dragons' Open Game License

They already messed up. Now it's too late.

Every blogger, small gonzo roleplaying books, big companies using OGL1.1 had to take a look and figure out what 1.1 was going to do to them. Multiple companies are already changing their licensing moving away from OGL.

I don't blame them, no one wants a ticking time bomb in their hands. Most people use OGL 1.0 as a way to protect themselves from being sued as a just in case. Now they know that protection could disappear, so they have to adjust regardless.

It appears that internally it has created huge rifts based on Twitter posts from employees. Some of them going full tilt against Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro, including big D&D 5e figures.
