[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 4201331, member: 15651"] Why do you think it is becoming a lovefest, exactly? Sure, within the 4e forum there is a lot of love, as would be expected, but there is also a healthy amount of skepticism as well. In other forums I haven't noticed a lot of 4e love specifically. Is your opinion being formed by the front page news? The site is now titled "EN World - Morrus' [b]4th Edition D&D [/b] (emphasis mine) / d20 News and Reviews Site." Yes, the front page is dominated by 4e news, but I would say that is because there is a lot of 4e news, and a reduction of RPG news from other publishers since many of them have not been investing as much into 3.x products as they wait for 4e and the GSL to be released to them so they can decide how they are going to proceed. On the front page recently I have seen information on Pathfinder, the new True 20 CoC, a new license from Dundjinni, a new product from The Le Games that is non-system specific etc. Yep 4e dominates, but that only makes sense. They put up interviews getting clarification right from the source. Yes, WotC can use it as a marketing mouthpiece, but the alternative is to say nothing and allow tons of rampant speculation. Any news outlet worth their salt will try and get an interview rather than do nothing. I can't say for certain, but I'm sure if someone were to somehow release some form of "anti-4e" information that was newsworthy rather than just an opinion; something like a former 4e employee posting what seems to be legitimate information about how WotC will require all subscriber to D&D Insider to burn their earlier edition books as part of the user agreement, I would safely assume it would be posted on the news page. I also assume somebody would try and get some kind of verification or denial of the information from WotC. That's what gathering news is all about. [/QUOTE]
