[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9434597, member: 6801228"] So if not everything WoTC says is a lie, then the defense of "What? You are going to believe [I][B]WoTC[/B][/I]?" seems... kind of silly and pointless. Since, you just said, that just because they said something doesn't mean it is false. And, yes, I will acknowledge that they made a rules revision so that people can keep using their old books. Why is that such a terrible crime that people keep pointing dramatically to it like it proves WoTC didn't make a backwards compatible rules revision, but 3PP making new rules revisions of their books is just obvious par for the course? They need to make money after all. And the weirdest thing is? Making a new edition, a true 6e.... likely would have been more of a money grab, since people consistently declare that a new edition would have happened if they were in financial trouble. I'll believe that Wizard's will stop printing books, the moment Amazon stops selling physical books and digital books fully replace the print market. We are only... twenty years or so past when that was supposed to happen. But I'm sure WoTC will be the first one to really pull it off. After all, they have a CEO who says they are going "all in" on digital. So that means whatever you want it to mean that sounds the most evil and scariest. And here is the last accusation that always comes. Just because I resist the spread of misinformation, I must be waving the flag of WoTC. I'm irrationally loyal to a company, because I consistently point out "they didn't say that" and "that is unlikely to happen and just fear mongering" Just like I was a paid shill for Gates, because I didn't support misinformation about him. Or how I'm a shill for Bezos because I didn't believe he was going to start controlling the food supply. Or how I'm a naive slave to the federal government because I don't believe they are going to start erasing money from people's savings accounts to prevent the accumulation of wealth. Not believing every terrible thing said about an entity = 100% unquestioning loyalty to their corporate causes. Because why ELSE might I prefer the truth over lies? [/QUOTE]
