[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3727505, member: 22779"] Umm, if you think TSR wasn't looking at the bottom line, particularly in some of the latter days, I think you might be somewhat uninformed of the history of the game. Also, it has been repeatedly stated, both by industry insiders and by WOTC people themselves that Hasbro couldn't really give a damn about D&D, so long as it doesn't LOSE money. D&D is such incredibly small potatoes that it barely shows up on any accounting lists. No one at Hasbro gives the slightest damn whether or not the game grows or stagnates. They bought WOTC for various reasons, none of them had much to do with D&D. I know, as D&D players, we like to think the corporate world of RPG's revolves around us, but, the sad truth is, we're not even a consideration. Sorry, the changes you've seen in D&D have had little or nothing to do with Hasbro and everything to do with the people who are actually making the game. [/QUOTE]
