Message: <blockquote data-quote="tyrlaan" data-source="post: 5443199" data-attributes="member: 20998">A few not so random thoughts from this peanut gallery...1) As a customer, I care about being satisfied. I don't care and should not be expected to care about the inner workings of a company. I just want them to give me product and/or service offerings that I want. My point here is I shouldn't have to wait for something like DDXP for me to feel confident about being a WotC customer and I shouldn't have to wait for something like DDXP before I voice my gripes or praises. At this very moment I am a customer and any decision I make to buy a product today will be based on the information I have today. 1a)DDXP should be for generating customer hype, not settling minds of distressed customers.2)I feel like there's a helping of hyperbole getting thrown around regarding the death of 4e. Even if 4e as a product dies, what exactly is stopping us from still playing it? I won't be switching game systems just because WotC stops selling 4e material and/or offering their software tools. I've spent YEARS playing TTRPGs without a single line of code to back me up and I see no reason why I couldn't go back to that if I choose. 2a)While my point is all the cool toys WotC has provided us are not required to play, I'm not suggesting we shouldn't complain about their implementation. Claiming you won't play without them or that the edition is dead without them seems extreme. Choosing to stop paying to use them, on the other hand, seems totally reasonable. 2b)My stance clearly suggests I'll keep playing 4e without WotCs support. That's great for me, but not great for WotC. But I suppose the point is not that WotC will care if you keep playing 4e if they stop supporting it, but they will care if you stop using 4e material if they continue to support it. So while I can say it's no skin off my nose if they abandon 4e, this sentiment should seriously concern WotC because I don't need to be their customer anymore. In short (and to Aegeri's OP), if they can't provide things to me that I want to pay for, they might as well can 4e as far as I'm concerned. I've got what I need to keep playing.</blockquote>
