Shane Plays podcast talks with Zach Glazar (Frog God Games), Bill Barsh (Pacesetter Games) and Levi Combs (Planet X Games) on how the recent events around the OGL affected them, their views (it is speculation, though some of these people have some connections), and how it impacted their businesses and the people who work with them.
They Came for the OGL: 3rd Party RPG Publishers Share Their Experience – Episode 265 – 2/9/2023
One interesting take that the group seems to agree on is that yes, Cynthia Williams and the execs set the goals (e.g., better monetization), but it was a pocket lower down that read this charge and thought the OGL change was a good plan to execute on those goals (even speculating this could have come out of the creative group). Note: this is not my take, I am just summarizing one aspect of what is discussed.
