Another one not mentioned but probably will happen - DLC content for books, where “buying” the book only gives you the most basic, barebones stuff, and you have to pay extra for anything decent.

It's likely fake. Anonymous sources cited by a Twitter rando about a company everyone's mad at doing a bad thing, and the tweet he quoted presented it as a scary hypothetical. The stuff that's actually credible is bad enough, let's stick to that and not shift the rhetorical focus away so that WotC can be like, "The thing everyone's mad at us for isn't what we're doing and never had any credible evidence, rest assured that we are 100% NOT changing the price of dndbeyond (also the OGL is still cancelled but you all forgot about that, right?)" Rumormongering is like, the one thing people could do rn to undermine the criticism of WotC.
The source has been confirmed by numerous, more respectable people, since then and there will be a video with more information by the person who covered the leaked email where the execs said they only care about DNDBeyond.
The enemies really are that evil.
Such as?
Lmao I saw earlier where he had a tweet claiming that Ginny Di and some other people had backed him up, despite her tweeting nothing about it. The tweet where he claimed that has now been deleted. If that doesn't scream fake, I don't know what does.
This leak, if true, would be far less evil then revoking the OGL, which we already know is actually true. Rasing prices to a stupid level on something you can just not buy is less evil then trying to actively steal other people's work and enforce a monopoly.
Just click the link lol.
First is DnDshorts, who is the person who leaked the earlier email and is making the video with more details.
Then there is NerdImmersion on Twitter and Monkey_DM on Reddit.
Maybe it is still fake. Or maybe this leak will make WOTC backpedal and claim its fake. Maybe parts of it are fake and others are real. Who knows at this point. I've seen claims that AI was actually meant to be AL but we don't know yet.
And this is just as evil as the new OGL because it is all a part of a larger plan to transition D&D to the video game and subscription models of content. They want to get rid of OGL 1.0a because they don't want people playing 5e anymore. They want to transition to 6e which they want to be (majorly, if not entirely) online based where you pay a monthly fee to play on DNDBeyond (the only VTT that will allow 6e) and have to buy books + dlc with added content.
"Just read every tweet" is not how sources work.
Never heard of them, sound like Twitter randos. Three Twitter randos chasing clout isn't any more credible than one Twitter rando chasing clout.
Then who cares? We already have bad shit that we know is actually true. There is no reason whatsoever to care about this, except that people are bored and hungry for new developments. That's all this is. Twitter-brained shit that's distracting from the point and taking people off-message.
Ok. Cool. You can choose to not believe the leaks. I will choose to believe them. We'll see what happens.
Cool cool, must feel nice to feed that confirmation bias.
ok boomer
Edit: As everyone can see, I didn’t start the hostility. They accused me first.
:pigpoop:
I suppose you have something you can remind us of if Hasbro/WOTC does indeed try to do this sometime, unless pre-launch backlash causes them to dial it back for a while which is a standard monetization strategy, in which case it may be more unclear what they intended to do if they don't do it.
Time will tell.
