[QUOTE="Krieg, post: 1590473, member: 5282"] Perhaps it's time that companies began to realize that we don't "owe" them a damn thing either. Don't blame the customer for choosing not to buy your product. It's the sellers responsibility to make their product attractive to the consumer. It is NOT the consumer's responsibility to support companies that do not meet their needs or expectations. George's children are not my responsibility. I am not fond of DRM (for the same reasons as many others), I'm leery of what appears to be strongarm tactics on WW part, I find the ignorance on the part of the publishers regarding the issues appalling, the pricing is questionable and to top it off DTRPGs opening day woes were a nuisance. That being said, I wasn't really upset or angry with any of the folks in question. They made a business decision. I don't agree with said decision & have chosen not to financially support it. Yet in the end all I hear is whining & excuses on the part of those involved. I don't need to see their side of it. If they want MY money then it's time they start seeing things from my point of view if they want me as as a customer. If they choose not to do so, that is absolutely fine by me. They won't get my business, and we can go saparate ways. If they choose not to see the point of view enough customers, then they will go out of business, and that is fine as well, there are plenty of companies out there who are interested in providing a service that I and those like me want, and they will be more than happy to take out money. Don't tell me that the RPG companies don't owe us anything and then whine about how [i]we[/i] should be supporting their children! PS-It's generally not a good idea to act like a jerk when you're in the service industry. Explain THAT to your kids. [/QUOTE]
