[QUOTE="dungeonguru, post: 7755153, member: 6951419"] What phrase would you and Dire Bear prefer: unscrupulous, avaricous, grabby, unethical or unprincipled? When I stop by a food court and they ask me to test drive a new food that they're looking at selling depending on feedback, I don't pay for it. When I proof-read a draft or test someone's instructions or procedures for a work task, I don't pay them for the pleasure. Sure, in the past playtesting was free and I'm not afraid to say I miss that. D&D 3.0 playtesting was free. Unearthed Arcana articles are free. I'm just sad that I've played long enough for the free samples to stop and be charged using the "early access" and "pay for beta access" that the online gaming community started. My fears are that this lays the groundwork for the future where I have to pay for the printed version of DLC. I'm hoping I'm proven wrong in the long run. If this was Print-on-Demand like PF2, I wouldn't even have blinked. Saying I'm insulting the designers is a misunderstanding on your part, I'm insulting the management that made the decision. Rarely do the designers get to decide the price point of anything. [/QUOTE]
