[QUOTE="Vincent55, post: 8884585, member: 7037991"] I suspect or hope, that those who spit from their own company split the player base again and put a death nail in the coffin of the corporate takeover of D&D. I really feel this is the last days of this brand as it gets squeezed for all the money they can then maybe sold off like an old used car they don't want to fix. The company needs someone who loves the game, like those that formed pathfinder and such, but I may be just hoping too much. This is hard to say for me as I have loved this game from the blue and red box sets to the last 5e book I got, but I feel it has since lost its way and has become more about making money and less about the quality of the product. This happens a lot with online games and such with the intro of no subscription and the lock boxes and the hoops they make the player jump through to do things all pay-to-win models and such. With D&D you will end up with, table scraps tossed to us for free, and others locked behind exclusive content on many things like digital-only or rare collectables covers and adventures with small bits of crunch and ther rest left up to the DM to fill in. We the community will be the creative staff, who will have our original creations taken and used to whatever ends they want and we have no say so. Try and complain and bam you are slapped with a court document forbidding you to make or sell anything. No pay, no rights, and no caring for the community only what we can do for them. Yes, this guy was one of the most dedicated D&D fans and DM's but now like a girlfriend who is a mess and keeps taking her back, I am done it's over. [/QUOTE]
