[QUOTE="Autumn Bask, post: 7772165, member: 6986805"] You shouldn't, nor did I even remotely imply that. However, if you are going to speculate about the motives of a company, which you are doing by calling WotC's release strategy "lazy", you need to understand profit-motive. In other words, [B]I'm not saying that you need to prioritize WotC's profit in your complaints[/B] about their business tactics, but you do need to understand at least the basics of how they make money before you make statements like: And you would know that this was my intent if you actually read my post like it was written by a human being, who is trying to come to some understanding with you, rather than dismissing me as some sort of brainwashed capitalist trying to attack you.
