Open Game License controversy
A leaked proposed revision to the Open Game License triggered strong criticism from players and third-party creators. D&D Beyond subscriptions became a prominent target for cancellations, making the service a highly visible channel for opposition to Wizards of the Coast's planned licensing changes. Wizards later withdrew the proposal and announced that the existing OGL 1.0a would remain authorized for certain uses.
