Sequoia, the same geniuses that backed SBF: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33571734

Sequoia also backed Apple, Cisco, Google, Youtube, Instagram, LinkedIn, PayPal, Reddit, Zoom and many more. They are just one of the largest VCs out there.

Sequoia invested in Apple 46 years ago.

Many of those other investments date from the 90s and 2000s.

The firm has since lost its mojo. The transcript of the discussions behind the SBF investment are embarrassing.

could you share that list right here please?

Sorry I should have done that from the first place. Here's a quick one as I'm on a movie break. I'll make a note to update this in the morning. Haxe + Haxeflixel : pixel art games Haxe + Heaps : More general 2d/3d framework with webgl target Godot : I havent used it personally but I've had a myriad of co-workers tell me how good it is Monogame/FNA : Open source multi-target C# framework that more or less fits the XNA…

To add to this, some people I've worked with are talking about the stride engine (formally known as Xenko). MIT/C# engine

There is a difference from backing a fraud vs backing a failure.

No one is pointing fingers for the latter.

SBF would have never done anything with a simple BoD requirement: independent auditor. That was not done by BoD. This is a very standard requirement for most companies beyond A. SBF got special treatment. Why is the question

By what measure did WotC or D&D get destroyed? The vast, vast majority of public figures in that space seem to have moved on from any opposition, including those who were most vocal about the OGL. WotC completely got away with it. People will queue up for their new VTT and then be shocked, SHOCKED when Wizards leverages that to achieve the lock-in that they've so desperately pursued for years.

Destroyed is probably over selling it, but they did get the original OGL content and more licensed under creative commons as a concession which would prevent Wizards from attempting the same stunt again and provides rival VTT confidence in their continued ability to offer D&D and derived systems like pathfinder 1e.

No, pathfinder isn’t covered by this since the CC license was specifically only for 5e SRD content.

And wizards never retracted the claim that they could revoke the OGL. So pathfinder 1e in particular is directly in their crosshairs.
