[QUOTE="thatOneLinuxDM, post: 9831338, member: 7052960"] It's just a bit of self-deprecating humour. This is rather selective given what I said. I like this site and the podcast, I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I'm just pointing out that the linked statements are not evidence, they're assertions made without context. Members of the community critique Wizards of the Coast [B]all the time[/B] for statements made without evidence, I don't think we should treat other companies any differently if they do the same; heck, that idea was displayed in this very thread with people arguing over sales numbers for the various editions of D&D! There's no units, no sales figures, no numbers of any kind. At least with things like your own Kickstarters we can see the success. I bought Daggerheart, I hope it does well, and I also understand that people will get defensive over [I]their thing[/I] in a way that appears strange to outsiders, and might take vagueness on face value if presented with it where otherwise they might be a little more critical. Now, you specifically might be in the 'curse of knowledge' camp here, especially if you personally have more information that isn't public knowledge. Maybe you do have some actual numbers that you can't share because it would be unfair to Darrington, that's fine too, and I acknowledge that it's a possibility. [/QUOTE]
