[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 4755122, member: 60075"] I think the original incentive for addressing the letter to Leeds is that he received negative fan mail (a pretty safe speculation, if you ask me). Since he, and not other people, presumably took the main gist of that, the poster thought it fitting to send the letter to Leeds as well. I agree, not least because though you make a valid point you seem not to have read the letter to its end (speaking of which, I wonder if Leeds will): [I] [/I] That said, I much rather endorse the letter you wrote for several reasons, 1. Brand management isn't solely the Rouse's fault, and the PDF decision almost certainly wasn't his fault at all. 2. They deserve thanks for both editions they created, though their marketing has tried their best to convince us in the past year just how rotten 3E is. Sad to see them belittle their own accomplishment. 3. Dedicated gamer and not customer. That sums it up. Or, to appropriate Samuel Clemens (“A [I][I]patriot[/I] [/I]supports his [I]country [/I]all the time and his [I]government[/I] only when it [I]deserves it."): [/I][B]A D&D gamer supports his game at all times, and its current license holder only when they deserve it.[/B] [/QUOTE]
