You are making a market based argument for censoring content. You are saying that this is a commercial product and sales matter more than the personal vision or concerns of the creator. If that is the case, and WOTC has good reason to believe that there are members of their target audience in these demographics (and there are, there are definitely gamers there), then it makes sense, at some point, content could be changed using your logic in order to not lose, or to attain these sales. Now, there are other factors (i.e. how much appealing to one group of people, pushes away another). But at the very least, you can see how making a free market argument, that doesn't give weight to the value of free expression and the views of the creator, is naturally going to lead to the content being in congress with your potliclal, social and cultural beliefs (I think because at the moment, things in the gaming community tend to reside more on the left, you are under the false impression that this is where following commercial considerations will naturally lead. It won't. The arguments you are making, undermine the overall argument your side on this thread is taking.</p></blockquote><p></p>
