Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannager" data-source="post: 5450709" data-attributes="member: 73683">I, like everyone else, had a choice early on to make of whether I would support the next edition of D&D. I did.But what I want to know is why, of all the people who were happy with and played 3.5, some of them went to 4e and some didn't. Clearly, some of them made the decision based on the design direction. Some, however (even most, I might assert), decided based on some other factor: perceived PR mishaps, canceled features, etc. These things bothered some people, and they didn't bother others. So what was the factor that drew the line? What was it about some people who were okay with these things, and didn't let them affect their choice in game, and what was it about the others who did?I don't think I would be upset, that's the thing. I'm pretty confident in my ability to enjoy a well-crafted game, and honestly sliding a bit one way or the other on the simulationist-gamist scale isn't going to affect that. If, however, a company like WotC were to suddenly go in a direction that I couldn't stand, I don't think it could get me riled up even then. I'd still have whatever I was into before, and undoubtedly other opportunities from other companies would present themselves.Perhaps that's one of the reasons I'm so curious about that sort of person.</blockquote>
