   Anyone else watching the shitstorm with the OGL in D&D going on right now? People are mass unsubscribing from DDB and suddenly the website is having errors preventing people from cancelling. Wizards really is a shithouse lol.

     Lmfao! There is no way they could pull off retroactive, they'd get sued to shit right?
     
     All they had to fucking do was listen to the actual fans, normies and wokes destroying yet another franchise. Woker things and mercer effect bs.

     I think it was Critcrab or another in the sphere covering it that brought up the retroactive profit sharing and yes it is insane and I thought the same thing that there is no way it could be legal but with the leak today it seems like they actively fucking hate their customers, are angry as fuck that D&D is such a small money maker for them, and will force absolute control down the throats of the entire fanbase.

     I've been hearing crazy shit now for the past week. I know they want to implement profit sharing and royalties for homebrew anything going forward with their new OGL. One of the most bizarre claims was that they wanted to try and retroactively apply it so if you made some product that sold well under the original agreement the amended one would try and force you to pay a percentage of profits. Absolute batshit lunacy if true.

     That the grifting shit, where they basically want to charge for homebrew shit? I lost interest in Wizards fucking ages ago, haven't looked into it past clickbait video titles tbh.
