At this point I am genuinely conflicted as to whether I should continue supporting the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Setting, given that the corporation that owns it is so... outright awful.

This will be a topic on this month's Patreon supporter call.

Yeah Greyhawk and wotc are only connected by very thin threads. It’s extremely unlikely they will ever touch Greyhawk again.

Their focus is on "6th edition" and locking that down for them only. I don't think first edition is even on their radar. I haven't seen any big publishers supporting this that they would go after. But wait and see, it has been a busy week last week with more to come this week (40k subscribers cancelled their subscriptions so far).

Why let them ruin what you enjoy the most and love doing? You supporting them doesn’t put any real money in their pocket. Ask yourself this Joe: WWGD. What Would Gary Do?

Yes. We don't stop enjoying the work of writers like H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard even though their views on race and civilization are a load of horsefeathers. We don't stop enjoying films that somebody like Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby had a hand in. Hence the principle of 'separating the art from the artist.' Greyhawk is more-so, so much more-than its current owners. It's the passion and effort we as a fan community have put into it for decades. That's where the true spirit of the setting, and indeed all of D&D, lies. As long as you keep to that, you're carrying on that legacy and spirit, no matter what WOTC and Hasbro do.

We own Greyhawk, not them. In a couple of years they will have lost all institutional memory of it and it will be only a line item in the ip assets that they have hoarded.

Echoing my support for your great work!

Greyhawk belongs to this community not WOTC. It is our collective passion that keeps it alive, and your great work especially.

Keep doing what you're doing Joe.

I have never considered Greyhawk to be especially associated with WOTC, and to judge by their total disregard for this setting they haven't been especially interested in it for many years. I have no intention of quitting my GH on account of the latest greed- and virtual-driven shenanigans. You keep doing what you do, as Gabriel says.
