Yep, totally works for all other retailers and companies, sure... I'm getting my coat on RIGHT NOW!!! and going down to my local game store to camp out so that I'M first in line to grab this AMAZING product because some internet guy essentially told me I was a sheep to keep playing DnD and enjoying it, so like the sheep I am, camping out so that I can grab it...Honestly, maybe you should start off by NOT attacking what people like and possibly making a more positive comparison to the game they like. I really hope you don't recommend EVERYTHING like this. Do you tell people their favorite book or move is complete trash and should be launched into space all because YOU don't like it, but they should be watching or reading YOUR favorite for the moment? I really hope not because this is just not the way to go about things. Maybe try saying something like, "Yeah The Lord of The Rings trilogy is good, I think you would like the Shannara series, or even the Magic Kingdom of Landover." You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar...I had no plans to purchase the 2024 book, as there isn't enough of a change for me to purchase it. They essentially just blended Tasha's and Xanathar's into the Players Handbook and changed the bare minimum in order to try and suck yet another 50-100 dollars out of people...at least from what I watched with those videos they put out. As it stands, and unless the other two books make that choice make sense, I'm reserving complete judgement on it for now; but again as it is, it's just not worth it for me. With that said, I'm not changing games just because a few people think the game I enjoy is trash. I play this game because this was the first game I learned to truly play with my family, it's a game I have learned over the course of my life and in honest I'm not trying to drop another possible 1,000 on new books for a new system that I might not enjoy. This game has memories and nostalgia for me, along with being something my family bonds over even now. I'm not changing, and people can think what they want of me for it. I use the old books and resources that I have at my disposal from all across my family in order to make the game really fun. If I don't like something that has been done now with it, I just alter it. It's easy for me to alter something in a game I know rather than something in a game I don't. Is DnD being poorly managed and handled by Hasbro/WOTC?...Yes? I honestly don't really care, but the same could be said about every other company to some degree or another. How a company handles their business will always be criticized or scrutinized by the people that don't benefit 100% from the choice; that includes fans and the people that buy. No matter what, SOMEONE will think SOMETHING is being handled or managed poorly because it's not the way THEY would handle or manage it. In short, leave peopel alone to anjoy what they like, you enjoy what you like, and next time try suggesting a recommendation in a more positive and friendly way rather than just trashing and disperaging what said people like.</blockquote>
