Fine. I've also made some notes of who has said what, in this thread and others. They won't have my support as a customer, even if they're a contributor for a product of another publisher. You drag the hobby down. It's one thing to be understandably skeptical, but some here are just over the top. I bet that neither Scott nor Lidda nor a single employee at WOTC have ever been so rude, in such a personal fashion, to their colleagues in this industry as some here have been to them. |
I would just like to add my +1 to this sentiment. When
4e was first announced, I was very skeptical about the changes. I looked into Pathfinder as an alternative and saw some stuff that I liked. But the behavior of some of the Paizo fans and contributors both here and at the Paizo boards really soured me to the game and even motivated me to reconsider my stance on
4e - which I eventually ended up buying and liking. Since I started running a
4e game, at least 3 of my other gaming friends have also changed their minds about
4e and, knowing them, if that hadn't happened they likely would have bought into Pathfinder as well. I count that as 4 lost Pathfinder sales because people associated with Pathfinder chose the low road.
And yet another word from our sponsors
