I have hopes that this change will make at least
some of the people/publishers happy and we can have an assortment of product for the various editions that will be the talk of the forums rather than the
GSL.
That said, I find myself wondering about all the talk of sales and trying to prove that they are low, or lower than expected, or whatever is trying to be proved. What, exactly, is the point of all that? Is there the thought that, despite countless dollars in sales and R&D and advertising that
WOTC will say "Oh well, that didn't work, shucks we will go back to 3.5?" The ship has sailed.
4E, for good or ill, is where D&D is going now. I, for one, don't wish poor sales for
WOTC anymore than I wish them for
any of the game publishers; we are all poorer when one of our own goes down, no matter how big or small.
Dislike the wording of the
GSL or some of the changes for
4E, sure, but how about we put down the pitchforks and torches and stop this crusade?
And yet another word from our sponsors
