[QUOTE="Heap Thaumaturgist, post: 260352, member: 4516"] [b]Re: Bean counters[/b] Kill the Bean Counters!! Flay their corpses! Raze their homes, sell their daughters!! ... oh ... wait. Well, back in my post I did say I had no idea how the internal workings of WotC were set up. Now, as I said, if each Elf Product has to meet a certain amount of profit, and a certain type of product can never make that profit, then yea, cut that product. Now, if the guys above you are having unrealistic expectation of profits, then a dialogue needs to be initiated with them to rework what they're looking for from the line. If looking for X Profit from -every- product means cutting out something that will lead to the continued viability of the line, that needs to be talked about too. If all Fluff never sells enough to make a profit and doesn't add to profits later, then yea, don't produce all Fluff. :) Just a tip of the hat to the Evil Bean Counters, they're people too. Now, back to sacking their temples and defiling their altars. --HT [/QUOTE]
