[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9333394, member: 18182"] I don't have a toxic relationship with WotC, I don't have much of a relationship with the corporation at all. I have a relationship with D&D. I engage with the designers (well, some of them) online. WotC has made several consumer unfriendly decisions over the past few years regarding D&D which has upset me and cooled my drive to purchase every single book they produce (which is my normal). But they have also made good decisions regarding D&D and produced some fantastic products. So I continue to be a customer. Like any organization, WotC is not a singular entity . . . they are not a person who has wronged me. Some of the suits at the top push for consumer unfriendly practices to squeeze more profit from the game. The designers who actually make the game work hard within the constraints they are given to produce awesome, fun books to expand my game. How that back-and-forth plays out does influence how much money I'm willing to give the company for their next book. But if WotC corrects the most egregious of their bad decisions, and the next book looks super cool and gets good reviews . . . Am I "crawling back" or "licking boots" as another poster put it? You can keep your condescending attitude to yourself and eat your own bitter cake. I'm going to continue to enjoy using WotC's D&D products and evaluating whether to purchase more as new products come out and WotC's treatment of the game evolves. TLDR: Whatever.
