I do not actually have a horse on this race, however I’ll play Devil’s Advocate right here for a second.

If you want Cypher stuff and both 1) agree with or 2) are impartial to MCG’s political views, why not use it?  Ya, the “naughty stuff” clause is obscure, however the extra obscure one thing is, the much less enforceable it’s in regulation.  A lot of us advocate for much less political content material in video games anyway.

From my view, it does not matter if I agree with Monte Cook’s present political views. Using this license implies that the product could be without end tied to nevertheless his views would possibly change. He would possibly later change to take up some views that I disagree with, after which push to revoke the license due to materials within the product. Even whether it is tougher to implement beneath the regulation, if he has an excuse to take authorized motion as violation of contract, then that will be an enormous authorized headache even when I had been to finally win.

I believed perhaps this was a bit overblown at first, maybe taken out of context. Then I appeared on the license. Yeah, I do not see why anybody would ever launch a product utilizing this license. You’d be intentionally harming your product and placing your self on the mercy of a 3rd occasion.

Without the license, at worst you simply lose out on the product recognition of explicitly saying “Cypher System” — But is that even a promoting level for many players? I do not see that having a lot pull.

I do know. At a look its like. “No one is that silly and hateful proper?” But you then maintain studying and it simply retains snowballing.

Sadly no. This actually is Cook being Cook. Why? Who is aware of. But this new license factor makes Palladium look completely tame as compared. All Cook wants now could be a “You make it with our IP/system, we personal it.” clause and he is all set.

What a shitty OGL and I hope it tanks.
