The new OGL specifically limits the media that it limits but only if you are using the OGL as your path to publishing. There are plenty of publishers in the computer game industry that are specifically licensed directly between Hasbro and the publisher. SmiteWorks and Roll20 already have that sort of deal, that is how they can release products it takes weeks or months to convert on the same day. They are probably already paying the license fee and probably have been for years. Foundry, Owlbear, etc., probably not in the greatest of positions.

The big thing is Wizards is developing their own VTT. So they can easily make all their content exclusive to it.

So much speculation. We can worry and fret, but honestly, unless you are a publisher, their is no value in worrying about it. Game on, enjoy, and when it's published then we can read what it actually says.

Not sure why folks are surprised. Once WotC went to Hasbro it has been a question of when not if they would try to do this. Honestly surprised it has taken them this long. Stop giving companies your money when they make it clear they do not respect your time or creativity. Heck how many people even play D&D rules as written.
My main worry is this does look they are lining up to stifle the VTT market. The leak was pretty clear anything for a VTT was outside of the OGL.

So many things wrong with this change. Took up the fight to defend D&D from 'Concerned Christians' in the '80s, now it has to be defended from its own publisher - not sure it's worth the effort
