As the OGL fiasco goes on, the player base stepped in and got Wizbro's attention in the only language big corporations understand: money.
The call went out on social media for people to protest the mess by cancelling their paid subscriptions to D&D Beyond and people responded by at least tens of thousands. After the link went down (or was shut down) for cancelling subs, it then became necessary to file a trouble ticket with DDB's recently downsized support team.
Wizbro had been silent during the uproar till this point and cancelled a planned twitch stream. Then, on the day the new "O"GL was supposed to take effect, ta-da! Wizbro put out a fake apology in which they claimed to have rolled a 1 (dudes, your die only has negative numbers you rolled so low).
Why do I call the apology fake? Because they continued lying. They said the leaked OGL 1.1 was just a draft to get feedback. False. They sent out contracts along with it for publishers to sign to accept it. You don't do that for a draft.
Now a consortium of 3rd party publishers has arisen to have a new Open RPG Content License (ORC) put together and handled by a neutral legal firm and to be held by a non-profit set up for that purpose. This will prevent any single company from doing the same thing Wizbro has done.
The WotC CEO said that D&D was under-monetized. If you thought it was under-monetized before, wait till you see the long-term effects of your fuckery on the bottom line.
Wizbro need to fire the ass-hats that are responsible for this bad decision and announce it loudly and widely.
