[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 4745364, member: 221"] Firstly, the quote does not really seem to lay blame for the miscommunication on either party so it strikes me as a bit of an assumption to blame the listener and not the messenger. Secondly, the miscommunication was over a period of 24 hours. Paizo worked as quick as possible to alert their customers and it still was too little time for some in Europpe who woke up to find their buying plans for the day had been altered and they had precious few hours to make sure their files were backed up. It seems strange to say that WotC had nothing to do with this recent fiasco when it was their decision to pull the PDFs. And they were only at the most going to allow a 24 hour window to make the announcement. Lastly, if one company makes a mistake and a second company profits from it, its normally the fault of the first company. You seem to be implying that there is something unethical in Paizo and Green Ronin and White Wolf making announcements that they are happy to sell PDFs and will even give a discount on them this month. I fail to see what's unethical or below the belt in these announcements. It cheats no one and it insults no one. [/QUOTE]
