[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9319216, member: 7034611"] yes, that is WotC’s choice ‘forced upon them’ how? At gunpoint? No, if they produce something less popular they are going to have fewer sales, just like any business would. The only power over WotC that people have is to buy their product or not, that is it. You cannot really say that not buying something you don’t like forces WotC to create something you do like, that is not more true for WotC than for anyone else. You also cannot expect people to keep on buying stuff they do not like, just so WotC does not feel pressured by them, that is pure nonsense. So where is the pressure? The online comments? As you said at other times, they will always get criticism from some part, no matter what they do. So that is just background noise. I grant you there will be more if they create something unwanted by the majority, but considering receiving feedback and the natural behavior of the market (popular stuff sells) a tool to force WotC and leaving them no choice is just plain wrong. They have a choice, but why would they choose to make something less popular intentionally… [/QUOTE]
