Your the one going around looking for a reason to feel insulted and self-righteous.There isn't any "corp" speak or weasel words in that FAQ. Its fairly straight forward. The minis line wasn't meeting expectations, so they cut it. They saw book sales weren't doing well, so they decided to digitize them because that was what was selling. If this was some sort of slithery corporate double-speak, its the worst I have ever seen in my life since it more less, ya know, means exactly what it says. Your the one reading unrealistic strawmen into them, such the line about selling like hot-cakes, which only an idiot would think given any context. Please, if your going to be upset, try to do it over something... I don't know... real?As for the rest of this storm in a teacup... woo? I'm usually one to swoop in like a fiery avenger to defend WotC from the hoard of chicken littles who make it a hobby to try and convince everyone that the game is about to die, but this really blase compared to just about everything else that has "gone wrong," and I think the fact that the outrage seems more over the method of announcement than the crime shows it. I honestly don't care that much about any of the books axed. I ignore the new rarity rules so the Emporium was only so much more raw data for the Compendium, I don't have enough money to reinvest in a new PHB, as a nice as this copy would be, and, for the life of me, no one seems to know what Hero builder was. Champions has themes and professions and all that, and Hero builder was... what? This doesn't seem like much of a loss and perhaps cannibalizing it will be for the best.The only thing that miffs me at all is the compilation issue. I really did like having all of those articles in one place when I went to look for them, but, then again, some of the posters here do present a really good point: it would be much better to organize the material by theme. I honestly forget which issue has what article since I only re-read them when I have need of it, so its often a matter of opening and closing table of contents until I find what I want. If I get the time I may go back and reorganize my whole D/D library by article type. That would be much more effecient, honestly.</blockquote>
