[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9466178, member: 4348"] Of course it's hype. However, when people complain about investors pushing WotC to monetize D&D MORE...this is why they do it. Heck...I KNOW what the gig is and what's happening, and even I get frustrated with how little money comes out from these numbers...(and I like to see myself as one of the good guys...though whether people would actually see me like that or not is another matter). When investors see WotC spout numbers like this in an article...and then they see the results of those numbers in comparison to other companies...yeah...some are going to get REALLY hot under the collar. That's when they put the pressure on Hasbro for exactly what I'm saying. Where's my money! I know how hard numbers could be working, I've seen it at other companies...so when I see it from WotC...of course I'm going to spout...okay...well...I don't care about what you SAY...I care about what you are GETTING. And...of course...I'm not going to be a tenth as pushy as others. If anyone ever wonders where that OGL fiasco was born out of, or any of the other measures players and fans of D&D wonder why Hasbro is doing something...it's things like what you see above and the numbers being reported. The question they will ask is...If you have 85 million fans...why don't we get money like other companies which have 85 million fans? It's not going to matter if WotC tries to explain...hey...RPGs just work differently than tech or other places...at the end of the day it's all about the green. [/QUOTE]
