[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5965542, member: 64209"] That's fair. It's not 4e's failed VTT. It's not the move to the crappy online Char Builder from the functional one. It's not their lack of digital products at release (advertised as current in PHBS). It's not "there will be no 4e for several years." Oops. It's not Gleemax. It's not the death of Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine (*cough* move to digital format and subsequent demotion to "web enhancement/advertisement you pay for" status). It's not the continual firing/layoffs of quality designers who have a wealth of understanding of the game and its history. It's not the pulling of pdfs to "prevent piracy." It's not that they seem to want to be super hush-hush about everything (until recently). It's not that people had to pull teeth to get what they promised in the first place (Remember they promised conversions of Elder Evils? Remember the contest where fans voted over many months to design a monster that was going to (but never did) end up in a monster manual?) Only a forum furor led to those actually happening. Remember the disk at the back of the 3.0 PHB (forget the name of the tools)? It's ALL of that. Don't need it. If 5e is awesome...I'll play it, sure. But I'm now thinking I'll give it just about as much attention as any indie game I come across. Open it up, thumb through it...give it about a minute's consideration. It's no longer the point of "well, [I]it's D&D[/I]...I gotta at least give it a [I]chance[/I]". WotC has had a lot of chances. [/QUOTE]
