[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 240013, member: 4545"] Wow. Run, Chicken Little, run! Game lines fail. It was Chainmail. Did YOU buy it? If you did, did YOU read the rules? Now ask yourself why it failed. Sure some people loved Chainmail. Some people loved "new" Coke too. It's just business, they can't all be winners. As for Dragon and Dungeon mags: So someone else owns them. From what we can tell it is someone that bought them not for profitablity (though I can assure you they sure as heck HOPE it is profitable) but because they love this game. Jut like me. Just like you. She wouldn't have bought it if she did not think she could make it be as good or better than it was. Can she screw it up? Duh, yeah, anyone could do that. I just think I'd rather see my favorite magazine in the hands of a kind and nurturing parent rather than in the hands of some suits who are always only looking at the bottom line. The State of the Game: Seems pretty fair to me. The people worried about D&D just dying because Hasbro refuses to sell it off when they dont see it making them money need to remember one thing. Why wouldn't they unload it for as much as they can possibly get if it gets that bad? Why hang on to a name brand that's not making you any money, but refuse to sell it so you get at least SOMETHING for it? The sky isn't falling, friends, there's just a little storm brewing. Sunshine always follows the rain and sometimes, we even get to see a rainbow. 'Nuff said. [/QUOTE]
