It would be a great story if the data showed D&D the along a financial hit from the OGL. I’m a big fan of the community rising up.
But, the data does not show that. If anyone has an actual source beyond an ICv2 throwaway quote, I would love to hear it. Every chart and figure suggests no impact and D&D doing stronger than other industry segments in the post-pandemic period. The OGL debacle has had many impacts, but I don’t see a financial one.
@dnddeutsch I did all my analysis yesterday, and I always look for an OGL angle, so I was surprised to see this claim by EN World. Looks like it comes from an ICv2 quote with no basis for it.
It's been a year since the OGL debacle and the Creator Summit. Touted as the first of many, will there be another? What has D&D accomplished and what remains to be done?
