[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 5758048, member: 40166"] I don't see them as having any more of a sense of entitlement then you do. Why does anyone besides FFG have the right to object to people asking for changes in their product? FFG wants to alter the game to suit them. You're being selfish and harmful in interfering with FFG in its attempt to find out what its customers want. I have never seen it as part of the menu to have no tomato on your burger. If you want arbitrary changes at a food place, there's a good chance they will go along with what you want if they can (at some price). So you admit there are times when it's okay to ask for changes in a product. Again, there will be one final Fortress America; people aren't asking that it be taken off the menu, they're asking for it to be on the menu in a form edible for them. Don't tell me there's a misunderstanding; show me. There's no threat or ultimatum involved. I don't know how you think they should conduct a Presidential election in your world; every statement is an assertion that your candidate and only your candidate should be president. That's a much more serious demand for conformity then asking that a reprint of a game have a theme palatable to you. And their statement that they don't want the theme to be changed is an attack on what I like. I don't see why we should dance around the fact that we have different desires for what Fortress America will be and that we can't both win. Let us both advocate loudly for our position, and FFG can choose who to listen to. They're not saying that FFG can't exist, either. They're saying that a piece of mass-produced product shouldn't have a certain theme, and you're saying that individual statements of personal opinion shouldn't have a certain theme. I find the latter much more oppressive. [/QUOTE]
