I grew up on D&D in the 80s, but I will steer my kids away from it over these kind of shenanigans. The publisher is demonstrably untrustworthy of its fans.

- musicale 4y agoDoes it make any sense for Wizbro to fight Paizo, or Green Ronin, or streamers, or Youtube, or roll20, or software based on the OGL? Is there any evidence at all that they are harming or cannibalizing D&D? Youtube/streamers are basically the gateway drug to TTRPGs, and roll20 allowed us all to keep (or start!) playing D&D during a global pandemic! Pathfinder is a thing, but D&D is still bigger than ever. (Though I wonder if Starfinder helped to provide incentive for reviving Spelljammer? I'm happy that both exist actually.) Maybe it's easier to hire lawyers than to focus on making more D&D products, video games, and licensed media that are actually good. In any case, it usually isn't a good idea to fight your fans/customers, because they are the lifeblood of your game (and company), as well as its biggest advocates.
