[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3358519, member: 53"] I was involved in a few conversations recently and I noticed a trend that seems to be becoming more common in the hobby industry (at least from my vantage point). There seems to be a lot of hate thrown towards products that "aren't what you are looking for" from companies the person patronizes. I saw it with WizKids. Whenever they put out a new product a lot of people who followed an old product complained because they weren't throwing those resources at their favored game line (Mechwarrior having a very strong presence of this - "They shouldn't put out Pirates of the Spanish Main, they should be focusing on Mechwarrior"). When WotC put out Eberron, I saw a number of people complaining about Eberron, not because of it's merits, but because WotC wasn't instead putting out more [I]Forgotten Realms[/I] or other game line materials. I don't see this much in any other area. I don't see people complaining that Random House is putting out a Tami Hoag and not putting more effort in getting George R. R. Martin to produce more. I don't see complaints that Sony is putting out [I]Across the Universe[/I] and not putting enough into a new Spiderman movie. Is it just me, or is this becoming more common? [/QUOTE]
