[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 833511, member: 8439"] Give up, I've been accused of censorship for deciding not to see The People Vs Larry Flint based on the previews... Vile content isn't just wasted pages, its activly annoying pages. Its funny how the whole "don't buy/use what you don't want" is coming up in a thread about changing the content of something many of us already buy. Which just happens to be considered a standard of sorts of the game. Gee, I'll just can my subscription and go out and buy the magazine each month or not based on some stuff that you want ADDED. And if I'd perfer to keep a subscription for the same magazine I'm used to, I'm censoring... typical. This reminds me of pet food... no really. I work at a pet supply shop and we sell a lot of high end foods. Once in a while, some company will figure it has enough market share or name recognition as a high end food and start cutting corners. So one day I go to show a customer the ingredients list on a "good low fillers" type of food and just gape at the almost total change. Now people COULD say "hey, lots of people like or don't mind those ingredients in pet snacks and you don't have to buy them and blah de blah" but they would be missing the point. It is unethical business practice switch content on a customer who has a standing order for a product. Dragon is not a series of unconnected books that you buy one and not the other, making a consumer decision every time. its a magazine that many people subscribe to. Changing its tone and content is different than putting out a book. I think a bimonthy mag with a name like "deeper dungeons"* which dealt with R rated gaming content might sell well. But it would not be the flagship/basic/semi-official/entry level magazine for the game. *that would be a fun name IMHO, since it would imply the more r rated content without sticking some dumb "mature" or "adult" lable into it, and would make everyone think of that old tract....
