Pretty much, yeah.
If Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast is so bound and determined to fuck everyone over by changing the OGL, no matter what, then everyone should just give Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast a hearty middle finger, pack up their bags, and move elsewhere. (However, I'm totally okay with Paizo taking Hasbro/WotC to court over the whole thing, if that's what Paizo really wants to try to do. With that said, though, I'd bet that Paizo will run out of money for legal stuff before Hasbro does, even if they're in the right. [Being in the right doesn't matter, of course, because in the United States, the courts don't actually care about who is in the right. The courts only truly favor the ones who have more money, as has been demonstrated time and time and time again.])
And, of course, the very first comment under that article is some rep management drone ludicrously trying to defend WotC and (without specifically mentioning them by name) demonize Paizo and other not-WotC companies as, essentially, thieves. And they're even trying to demonize players in general by invoking the dubious specter of people pirating source books (which is, at best, completely irrelevant) as a reason for why WotC is supposedly in the right for trying to change the OGL.
A lot (too many) of the other comments are Hasbro/WotC shills as well, and most of the rest of the commenters in general just seem to be very, very poor on reading comprehension skills (of the article itself and of the comments they're replying to). But then, it's a PCGamer.com comment section, so... eh, that's about par for the course on that count, I suppose.
In any case, even though I've said in the past that I kind of wish that I'd gotten into table top gaming, shit like all of this makes me glad I never got into table top gaming.
