[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4743050, member: 51747"] My final thoughts on this topic: I financial analyst once told me that if I want to know the health of a company today, I should look at its financial records, but if I wanted to know the health of the company tomorrow, I should look at its customer service. "Because you can only p*** off your customers for so long before they go elsewhere." (Yes, that is an exact quote.) Two years ago this month, Wizards made their first major step in failing to act like an industry leader by cancelling the Dungeon and Dragon Magazines and failing to inform the public themselves. They allowed Paizo to deliver the official announcement while they remained silent. They were unable to own up to their own actions for a solid week when they finally caved and continued the mags as electronic only publications. Today, in my opinion, they have taken their last act as an industry leader. Their actions over the past two years have become increasingly inexplicible. No longer can I, or anyone else I fear, look to Wizards for leadership or the new direction that role playing should go. No longer can Wizards claim to be on the cutting edge of the way products should be produced. No longer is Wizards the gold standard of the industry. Others will rise up to claim their place. May they learn what not to do. Good-bye Wizards. May your Coast be peaceful and tranquil. I shall not visit you there. [/QUOTE]
