Yeah, how about no. I've tried to give WotC and Hasbro a little benefit of the doubt recently regarding the whole OGL situation. I thought there were some predatory practices that needed to be addressed, and some valid concerns about use of D&D IP. I'm glad they seem to have backed off of the more draconian measures of the OGL 1.1, however...
THIS is a huge no for me. Now, I know we haven't seen the "tiers" yet (I'm hoping there are tiers) and maybe the $30 dollar per month one is an amazing deal, with use of all content on the site, full access to a new and vibrant VTT with various maps, settings, effects, user-options, customization, etc. That might be worth it to some people who run many games per month virtually. Sure. But for me? Naw.
I'd be willing to pay a little more per year for use of a really good VTT if it was easily shared with other players in the campaign. I currently have the Master Tier ($60 per year), which is $5 per month. With a really cool VTT and maybe access to some other really great features, I could see raising it slightly, but paying to access homebrew content and some of the other things they are talking about? NO. Hell no.
$30 per month will lose WotC a huge amount of players, even more than the OGL 1.1 controversy.
30 dollar per month is madness!
Well since WotC likes to apparently test the waters with leaked rumors... no I would straight cancel my subscription.
Essentially.. if it costs more than Amazon Prime.. it's probably not worth it.
People are still here because they hope that their voices can still help turn things around.
Instead of worrying about them, consider that maybe the General Discussion forum just isn't the place for you right now?
Well you could take your own advice… it says rumour in the title and no one made you come to the thread.
you could just… you know… keep scrolling and not engage with the rumours you say yoh don’t want to engage with. *shrug*

30 dollars for what? I dont know why cause the leak was intentionally vague. I tired of half truths/information from these leaks.
it was 30 dollars for a sub, essentially, someone got ahold of the old fakes from august that were proven a hoax and ran around with it
Oh i know. I'm pointing out how angry people are getting over information that is clearly incomplete and meant to rile up current problems. The ones pushing the anger need keep it going. I wont be surprised if a new Leak pops today to beat or twist the coming OGL 2 post.
I was hoping the original article I saw at the following link written after Jan 16th, 2023 was bad information. I was hoping for a quick OMG we wouldn't do that to our fan base as quick as they are backpedaling on the OGL firestorm. I posted the question here so I could hopefully get an authoritative response. At any rate here is the link I got my info from.

Thanks.

There’s a link at the start of the thread with an official response. A lot of he said/she said speculative theory crafting going on lately :/
I get the initial response to the OGL but it just seems like some (not all) are looking for more reasons to be upset and/or upset others in many of the most recent threads. Just an observation, feel how you feel.
Thank you for the post. That gives me some piece of mind. Mods - As this has been debunked, can this thread be removed or at least locked?
