First, there's nothing shady about the email Andy Collins was referring to, and there was nothing shady about how the playtesters that commented about 4e handled things.Christoph the Magus said:My knee jerk reaction to this situation is this: WOTC shouldn't give any playtester special permission to comment on the new edition. I want to hear unrestricted comments from both positive and negative sources before I decide to buy into 4E. I already don't like the direction the game is going with DDI, and doing marketing things that feel a tad shady aren't improving my opinion.
Second, everyone seems to be forgetting one seriously blatant fact. We will get LOADS of both positive and negative criticism about 4e in one month. After D&D Experience, there will be plenty of people willing to spew forth their opinions, either informed, ill-informed or uninformed. That will be 3 months prior to the launch of 4e.
How much more open can a publicly held company (Hasbro) be about an unreleased product still in development. In other vertical markets, shareholders would have a lot to say about this, gagging the company completely.
I say, take what we can get, because it doesn't have to be this way.
