That is an absurd assumption, one that seems to be based in an immature sense of entitlement. Just because some chose to view it as entitlement, even when it wasn't, does not ascribe resonsibility for those feelings to WoTC. |
Uhm, that is nothing even close to what I said, and I agree it is absurd.
You know what else is absurd? For a business to go in a certain direction, which many of it's fans support (regardless of whether it's the
OGL or the free material given away on the website during
3e and 3.5)... Totally change that direction (while being exceptionally hush, hush and secretive about it) and expect those customers (some of which may have supported the company because it did go in this direction) to not be angry or peeved about it. Furthermore it is also absurd to then claim these people's anger is childish and basically without merit...
Does that clear up what I'm saying?
And yet another word from our sponsors
