[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 7659903, member: 63245"] I've been here a while, but I don't read every single thing. I have not heard this spring announcement. You shouldn't assume everyone has and if you can't prove it then why say it? Also it may take a while, in that case they shouldn't have released it before they had all of their ducks in a row. It seems really shady that they would release something, with no way of actually controlling it other than issuing cease and desist letters. I mean.. certainly I can't be the only one who thinks this is fishy. Its just another Public Relations failure. First the morning star incident, then not disclosing what is in store for the future, announcing things had been cut from the DMG after it had reached the hands of consumers (mass combat, kender, warforged), now cease and desist letters for fan tools, no fan license. These things each alone aren't worth getting mad about but when they start adding up it's getting irritating to say the least. Is it so much to ask that you talk to your fan base and let them know what's going on, at least tentatively? Yes after the DMG came out they said they would publish these things for free. Why did they wait so long to tell us, and even then they just surprised us. No one had any inkling that it would just be released into the wild with no forethought. To me, it's a crappy way of running a company since your company is quite literally based on fan usage and creation. They have every right to do what they are doing, but to me, it's crappy.
