I can only speak for me, but the fact that they wanted to do it at all and actually tried to implement it is reason enough to hold a grudge forever. They only did the right thing because it became clear that they would be shooting themselves. If people hadn't spoken up and dropped accounts and taken other action, they would have been perfectly happy to continue to screw every partner and player that made D&D a success. Frankly, screw them.
It was only never implemented because people acted. That it wasn't implemented is absolutely not a reason to absolve WotC. They didn't shrug and say "nah" -- we forced them to back off an absolutely horrible plan. Why would you forgive them?I think life is too short to hold a grudge over a policy that was never implemented.
They balked. Not quite the same thing.
Yep. All I meant was I wouldn't put too much weight on FLGS sales meaning much as a measuring stick for what the casual TTRPG player is buying because I think just by going to a FLGS you're already in a different portion of the fandom. The prices at most FLGS already eliminates many customers unfortunately and I'd guess if you're willing to spend more money on a book to support a store, you're a little bit more dedicated to the hobby than the casual player.
no one is asking you to hold one, not sure why you want others to not hold one thoughI think life is too short to hold a grudge over a policy that was never implemented.

Me, I am not holding a grudge, but I keep them at an arm’s length and am more interested in other games than before. The 2024 playtest helps with that too
I get it, but as you may have noticed, you (or anyone) engaging with that adds to it rather than ending it, so your best bet is to ignore it. It will stop by itself too, just like it popped up
