@deinol@dice.camp The thing I've often noticed is that something gets started by creative people - WoD, CoC, even D&D - and the more changes of power you get away from them, the more it gets into the hands of people who just want to maximise the return on investment, who literally can't tell good from bad as they're publishing it (see also film financiers), who get more and more aggressive about protecting "their" intellectual property because it's just an investment to them, rather than something they created and care about and want everyone to share.
