See, imagine if the US Gov't upheld a ruling that said that the source code of an OS could be copied regardless of the creator's wishes, and only the actualy UI appearance and layout could be copyrighted.
And then MS Released the "Open Windows" that came with everything except Office, still proprietarily Deathgripped.
THAT is what the OGL is!
And I'm an unapologetic fanboy for most of WotC's DnD stuff.
Yes, because WotC didn't figure out a way to attach a collectible addicting sidecar that ties into the "core" D&D market, providing a reliable income cash cow for the D&D division, and allowing it to remain a profitable concern until they really do want to do a fourth edition.
Yes, D&D Miniatures are the saving grace of D&D.
New hotness... well, y'see...
Let's use a metap^H^H^H^H^Hsimile...
The original D&D was like the Apple II. AD&D was like original Macintoshes. AD&D 2e, like PowerPC Macs. D&D 3.X, like OSX.
Burning Wheel? I dunno like Ubuntu or something. Or maybe more like Plan 9.
Oh yeah, and what is my WIndows equivalent here? I don't know maybe Trivial Pursiut or Monopoly
Consoles have a TERRIBLE input device.
For some games. Not for others.
For FPS, yes, wasd+mouse is a beatiful thing. FPS's are intense, immersive games, and gain a lot toward immersion buy being deskbound.
But consoles aren't about super-immersive, lonely play. It's about sitting around the TV with your buddies. No desks. I find most gamepad games just more fun. WASD+mouse, you are THERE. Gamepad+couch you are having fun.
Plus, Mice are a semi-absolute device. I like the feel of an analog aiming system that drifts back to a home state.
You can't talk to me that way!

I'm a very important person at work.
I am a District Manager!
People are afraid of me.
I driv a Dodge Stratus!

My Uncle lost his home over a lanudromat lawsuit, you insensitive clod!
