Dear Hasbro: about those minis

[rgard]

Yes, but all they risk is the possibility that they will have to look elsewhere for employment. Given the state of the gaming industry, many people at WotC could probably find better paying jobs elsewhere, so the financial risk isn't that much of an issue.

Wow.

Nope.

Maybe not their own money invested in the project, but if they spend the company's money on a project that fails, then they have just risked their jobs.

Ah. So I should have to risk millions of my own money, unlike the people at WotC making these decisions, in order to have or express an opinion on the subject, unlike the people who disagree with me?

Okay. That's clear as mud. Thanks for clarifying that.

It's a little different. Given what I know and what others have posted here, I wouldn't go the non-random route if I was a decision maker at WotC. To me it sounds not worth the risk.

That's just my view on this. I understand and accept that others here have different positions/views on the subject. None of us needs cash to back up our opinions.

With respect to the post I responded to, I pointed out that there was indeed risk to the decision makers at WotC if they get this wrong.

And as far as I'm concerned we're still cool.

Thanks,
Rich

I think the point is that it's easy to be a Monday-morning quarterback when you have nothing at risk in doing so.

The WotC folks, even if it's not their own personal investments at stake, still have a vested interest (i.e., keeping their jobs and salaries) invested in making the right decisions.

I don't see a lot of productive discourse taking place at this point. I still see people taking snarky pot shots at one another. Thread closed.
