I’m sure everyone wants to play the best games they can play. I also have no problem people making money doing what they do. I just think people should be very wary about the appearance of being independent when instead they have a financial interest.Nothing would make me happier than going to my competitor’s social media and saying how we do 90% of what they do for 50% of the price. The problem is there’s something opportunistic and underhand about that so we don’t do it. I was glad to see the pushback on Kobalds hatchet review of the DMG which was really just an advert for their own product. In SF’s video linked previously he makes it clear that one of the reasons he made the video was to promote his own Kickstarter.That said I’m quickly coming to the conclusion that because ‘all publicity is good publicity’, this stuff has little or no impact on WotC. It’s the community it is destroying. The negativity and sniping divides us, it doesn’t divide the publishers, it’s an opportunity for them.</blockquote>
