[QUOTE="seskis281, post: 4867281, member: 41593"] Huh. Well, the thing I find interesting is - why is everyone so easily worked up and pissed off over this? :hmm: James posted his own opinions and ideas on his own blog, as he or anyone has the right to do lol. He didn't come here and open this or other thread.. others brought it here. James has a pretty gloomy vision of the industry (not the hobby, as he says), but also says he hopes he's wrong. The man's entitled to his opinion, and he has experience that gives him a point of view... others have the right to say "I disagree." Hell, he even titles his own blog "ramblings..." I know James and I love the guy - he's one of the best GMs you could ever have - but I don't necessarily agree with every point of view he holds... big deal, that's America heh.... :D but he says what he thinks... I am a bit saddened by how Erik Mona came into this so strongly. I've never met him but have always enjoyed his writings and his opinions. I understand an impetus to defend one's company, but all James did was say he didn't like the approach being taken by Paizo on the pdf pricing for the Pathfinder rulebook. Coming back with a bit of namecalling and denegrating James on a personal level strikes me as a bit off... James Mishler's blog and opinion is a threat to the Pathfinder release? In the end I just have to ask - why do you guys care so much to get so worked up over it? :cool: [/QUOTE]
