I'm sure it was, just like the decision to cancel Dragon and Dungeon (along with the reactions when fans finally found out) ... and we all remember how well that was handled.

Again... subjective. Honestly who are you to decide if someone's anger is valid or not? Would someone who decided to buy the
4e core, in anticipation of a gaming license similar to the
OGL or at least one where more than a couple of
3pp were willing to move to
4e be childish if they were angry they had wasted over $100? What about if their group had each bought PHB's as well... so now it's around $200+ and a bunch of useless books? Honestly I don't like
WotC's settings, but I played
3e because of Scarred Lands, and 3.5 because of Iron Kingdoms, Dark Legacies, Midnight and Dawnforge. I have the
4e books and
IMO, these books more than 3.x are in need of a really good campaign setting with some good fluff... I think this is one of the reasons
4e doesn't excite me and I don't find myself reading or browsing the books like I did with 3.x.
And yet another word from our sponsors
