People are unsubbing from D&D Beyond to affect change, as now happening, based on the latest update:

Already more than 15,000 of you have filled out the survey. Here's what you said:

• 88% do not want to publish TTRPG content under OGL 1.2.
• 90% would have to change some aspect of their business to accommodate OGL 1.2.
• 89% are dissatisfied with deauthorizing OGL 1.0a.
• 86% are dissatisfied with the draft VTT policy.
• 62% are satisfied with including Systems Reference Document (SRD) content in Creative Commons, and the majority of those who were dissatisfied asked for more SRD content in Creative Commons.

These live survey results are clear. You want OGL 1.0a. You want irrevocability. You like Creative Commons.

The feedback is in such high volume and its direction is so plain that we're acting now.

1. We are leaving OGL 1.0a in place, as is. Untouched.
2. We are also making the entire SRD 5.1 available under a Creative Commons license.
3. You choose which you prefer to use.

I understand the controversy of the OGL. I can see what the community is trying to do. But unsubscribing from the great tools that D&D Beyond offers is so ridiculous. The fact that people are willing to sacrifice helpful D&D tools just to put out their opinion is, in my eyes, over-the-top. Why does it matter where your money goes? The D&D Beyond website hasn't changed at all and dozens of D&D YouTubers are basically rebelling against the website. Why? I haven't seen a YouTuber say that they actually prefer paper character sheets because, let's be honest, nobody does. Digital character sheets, stat blocks, and combat trackers are so useful, and even D&D players who don't make 3rd party content are unsubscribing and are refusing to buy any more official D&D products, for no apparent reason that I understand.

I am going to get a lot of hate for this comment and I'm risking that just so I can have the answer: why?
