Dungeons & Dragons are using their wallets to voice their displeasure with changes to the open license that allows other publishers to make Dungeons & Dragons-compatible tools. After news leaked about planned changes to the Open Gaming License (OGL for short) that allows creators and publishers to make Dungeons & Dragons-compatible material, fans started a campaign to cancel their D&D Beyond subscriptions. It’s unclear how many players have actually done so, but D&D Beyond’s subscription management page was periodically down on Thursday, with a “500 Internal Server Error” message showing.
Huge leak from an insider @Wizards It’s what we feared: the higher ups despise us, the D&D community, and see us only as an “obstacle to their money”. Subs on D&D Beyond are all WotC care about, so I’ve cancelled mine. Let your voice be heard #opendnd #StopTheSub pic.twitter.com/LhaBM4tGML
