Many gamers have already abandoned Dungeons & Dragons in favour of its rivals. Paizo, the creators of Pathfinder, has announced the Open RPG Creative License, a competing agreement for free use by any TTRPGs. Kobold Press and MCDM both announced the creation of their own tabletop systems, and many other third-party publishers have severed connections with Wizards of the Coast. Many players were disappointed by Dungeons & Dragons’ latest reaction to the unfolding issue, but it is still feasible that continuous community pressure may push Wizards of the Coast to rethink its intentions.
