Shrinking income due to the alienation of their customer base when they discontinued a popular product in favour of a shoddy product. IE, ending the old WoD and putting out Wreckuiem. So now they think they're going to increase their profits by requiring a license of all "pay-for-play" troupes, thereby the majority of troupes, since donations can be considered pay-for-play, thereby requiring most players to fork over 20 a year for membership in the CFC. Only thing is, it won't work. I've already seen a couple OWbN Players who also happen to be lawyers offer to assist OWbN in fighting it Pro Bono.

Balls to White Wolf. Fuck them with a spade.
