[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5455391, member: 957"] Clark invested a huge amount of energy and then walked away. And you substituted someone else for the other two companies I identified, so I guess those are confirmed. Calling my statement rude does not negate the accuracy of it. The Paizo Pathfinder release poster states, boldy, "3.5 Thrives". Your assessment was completely at odds with what happened. And far more statements than just their poster support that. If you were up to speed on the topic, you would know that. I know exactly zero people who wish they were playing an older version of D&D but play PF. But, that is beside the point, you are clearly agreeing that WotC would gain 4E palyers who simply WISHED they were not 4E players. That is a very sad position to be defending. Ok. You are wrong. 4E seems to be vastly MORE popular here than it is in meatspace. It has become a running joke how I run into completely random strangers and upon discovering they are gamers immediately finding out how much they dislike 4E. Ok, so 4E is for drunk folks who don't really care which game they play. Noted. (Not my opinion, but that is what I read in yours) shrug. I have. Heck, a lot of 3E fans dislike the PF changes. Well the difference is, you intentionally provided an unfair estimate of my feelings. I simply commented on the factual errors underlying yours. If you would like to make some statements that actually describe reality, I'm interested. But if you don't have that, then please, best of gaming to you. And if you look in that message board you will find threads based on anything other than 3E represent a minimal fraction. It is not uncommon to see the first page have none. [/QUOTE]
