SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Benefit has nothing to do with it.  It's all about control.  They want control of everything. Anything they can't control, they want to no longer exist.  For any given thing, they don't really care which result they get.  This is the first hurdle to understanding why it can't be reasoned with.

That makes sense.  For RPGS it only seems they have been able to get a grip on D&D, with everything else basically doing it's own thing.

I guess they want to destroy the hobby because with the OSR there is no way they can gain full control.

This was one of their biggest motivations for OGL 2.0, aside from naked greed. They had hit pieces on the OSR in the acess media a few weeks prior to that debacle.

So they will get control of the latest edition but that's about it.  Depending on how many people even bother to switch over to the new version (which it just being updates, WOKE changes and trying to get people on the VTT) that might not even work.
