They’re still going through with it and maintaining that they have the right to change the terms whenever they feel like. As expected they’re rolling back one or two things (which they can undo whenever they want) and acting like people won. Fuck WotC.
So apparently all the stuff that the OGL “allows” is actually stuff Hasbro can’t copyright, like the game rules. Paizo already pretty much moved past all that stuff, too. So there isn’t really much if anything that Hasbro owns that they’re actually using.
Apparently the OGL was kind of a scam to trick 3rd party companies to agree to rules that were more restrictive than fair use. Since D&D is built on so many commons things like mythology, religion, or just books that Hasbro doesn’t own, there’s only a limited amount of D&D stuff that Hasbro has any claim too.
So Hasbro’s ability to stop anyone from making D&D supplements is actually really limited. As long as they don’t use any copyrighted language 3rd party companies can make whatever they want.
Honestly kinda funny when you realize the OGL was made to have DnD as the main deliveyr point (since you used their system and core rulebooks) and then could bolt supplements on to it. Another case of capitalists brutally butchering their golden goose and then getting confused when there’s no more golden eggs.
