To everyone who said my explanation of why the OGL was created to subsidize risk and drive people from other games is just speculation, here’s the words of the guy who came up with it.

And he’s right. OGL keeps people from playing other games. pic.twitter.com/6RV2onNtfZ

“Play another game” isn’t just some flippant statement. D&D’s market dominance actively hurts other creators who want to tell their own stories. It isn’t a “rising tide.” It’s a monopolizing force.

I say a lot of stuff on this blog about "play another game" and I really want people to understand what I mean about that. monopolies are bad. DnD has, through marketing and business decisions and luck and capital, dominated the entire hobby in a way that no other creative genre has ever seen before.
