[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 2771333, member: 4490"] I said this once before. If we as gamers want to have...better control, or say on the market, one very good way to "try" and do that is start buying stock in companies like WOTC. Think about this for a second.. HAS stock is currently worth 20.50$ a share (as of 1 hour ago?) Thats half the price of their recent books. For the same cost of one big WOTC book a person can buy two stocks (and thus have two votes at any shareholder meetings) Now, the way public companies work is that most stockholders choose a proxy to vote for them. This one person holds many many proxy votes. This enables the stockholder to avoid attending every stockholder meeting and what not. However, every, and i mean every stockholder, even someone with a single share, has a right to speak at these meetings. If some gamers started to buy stock, in WOTC for example, at the very least once a year we'd be able to voice our conserns and other issues to the company brass directly. I doubt we'd ever have enough collectivly to have a major voting peice of the company, but we only really need a voice. Its just a pipe dream.... [/QUOTE]
