[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4055740, member: 30610"] For some reason I just remembered something while browsing the boards. A while back, White Wolf put out a horribly offensive game wherein the PCs were all pimps. This was done in the spirit of good humor, but like all things, it was swiftly taken out of context (and it is arguable whether or not such a game is justifiable [I]in context[/I], but let us put that aside - it is not the question I propose.) I wonder what would have happened to WotC if they had put that out. Would there still have been boycotts, or would people have simply been forced to realize that they will buy WotC products [I]no matter what[/I]? Additionally, how would WotC's response have differed from White Wolf's? Note that I am not asking for discussion of the politics involved; I am merely trying to grasp how the two gamer companies function differently. [/QUOTE]
