[QUOTE="big dummy, post: 2888780, member: 41052"] I understand the distinction between the government not intervening in speech and the consequenses of speech in the free marketplace. And of course it makes sense that if someone is rude to you personally or is a nazi or has bad business practices or rips people off you are perfectly right to avoid their work. I just personally feel that you can get in trouble in places like this for even bringing up matters which are anything but extreme. Matters dealing with the future of this game for instance, especially if they relate in any way to precieved problems with the current version. I know from experience that this alone can engender boycott threats. I also think the glut on the market has made a lot of the players / consumers cynical and more willing to be arbitrary about what they buy and the reasons for it. Of course it's their choice, but it all also amounts to a situation as I described, where people, especially industry writers, are basically not going to even bring up certain issues. Issues which probably should be brought up. No, you are right lol :) It's not the best place to ask. Given the contraversial ideas I have broached in ENworld, and the very hostile responses I've recieved in some other recent threads, I would be crazy associating this pseudonym with any of my work, not to mention irresponsible toward any publishers I may or may not have worked with. I'd love to tell you about stuff I've done and stuff I'm working on, but I can't risk it. Kind of a drag eh? BD [/QUOTE]
