[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 5415565, member: 10095"] Okay, so they aren't allowed to change business plans without being liars. That sounds like a recipe for success! And I guess you don't pay attention to news updates after announcements, because it was clear at least a month before launch that we would not see the VTT at launch (Bill Slavicsek's "The Scoop on D&D Insider"). Ah, so TSR was full of great wonderful writers who loved the game, while WotC is full of writers who just want to make a quick buck despite the RPG industry being the exact wrong place to try to make a quick buck... and despite the fact that there was significant overlap from TSR to WotC. And a dig at 4e! And calling people who disagree with you zombies! Brilliant! Random internet guy knows more about how 3e would do if it continued than the people who had the sales data for it. Priceless! God bless the internet for giving us experts on things for which they have no data. So, first, WotC is mismanaged by writers wanting to make a quick buck, and now they aren't even in control, it's all Hasbro, the company that has owned WotC since before 3e (aka the "sweet spot") was published. And don't bother to try to grow the market, just work within the already set parameters of a shrinking and aging market. You might want to watch out. Paizo tends to pick up those "writers looking to make a quick buck" as freelancers and such after they leave WotC. [/QUOTE]
