Imaro, I may not often agree with your opinions about game systems, but I DO respect your reasoning for your arguments. But this one? It was a reach into the stratosphere.  |

Hey, guess what... you guys are both right, my example is as absurd as Moruss's blanket statement on people who feel entitlement towards things they were given for free and then had taken away being "childish".
WotC fostered this sense of entitlement in it's consumers and it is the direction many believed they would take, as they supported their product. (Of course this was in no way helped by
WotC's "super secrecy" around the
GSL during the release of
4e, which in turn leads me to believe they knew many fans and companies would not be happy with the changes). To then turn around and say they are childish for feeling anger about this is ridiculous. especially when presenting the case that
WotC themselves hold no fault or blame in the ill will their reversal of direction fostered.
And yet another word from our sponsors
