They are just another company I buy product from.Then sadly no one you know lives in the "real world". How many times has Windows been delayed. Or features cut out and added later in a patch. How many times has a computer game been delayed, and delayed, and delayed.WoTC may truly have intended for the software to go live day 1, however the developers they hired may have had issues which delayed everything. There is no way on earth that you can predict and accurately hit a development date with 100% no errors on something large. Look at PCGen who have been developing and developing since 3.0. Their software is still not 100% perfect.Microsoft, one of the, if not the, most influential companies in the world. Windows Vista was forced onto the public and they themselves have abandoned it for Windows 7. Are you going to rant and rave about them as well. Because Bill Gates has "lied" more times than WoTC supposedly has.The reality here is that WoTC had an agreement with 3.0/3.5 to let fans use their rules sets with little restriction for their own things: websites, software, saleable product. They do not have the agreement with 4.0. Thus players who do not adhere to the agreement run the risk of being told to stop. Just because your new toy isn't the same as the last toy is no reason to hate the company.I've said it before: they have a right to defend their copyright.I've said it before: they were a bit heavy handed in that defence.D</blockquote>
