[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 260707, member: 518"] Oh it definitely makes business sense Anthony...I'll never argue that...I deal with this kind of stuff on a daily basis in both my main hobby,and my job... That being said..what about those of us who want Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms cream? Because the OGL doesn't apply..we are screwed more or less..we either take the crunch or move on... You say FR and GH cream don't sell..so you make crunch......eventually you won't be able to discern between GH crunch and FR crunch because crunch does not have any flavor... On the other hand..each batch of cream has a different taste.some slight, some more pronounced... Since you don't plan on making cream, and all the crunch is basically the same, why not sell off your cows?..cows can't make crunch, only cream...And since WOTC only wants to sell crunch..It seems like perfect business sense to me...Why keep the cream, and let it spoil in the corner? Brand Identity... Problem is now..you don't have the brand identity.....and so you manage to piss off all the folks who would have liked crunch and cream, or a few crunchy and one or two cream..and you'll never sell to those who want cream because there is none.... Hey get rid of the cream..sell crunch...that's your pergoative but... Eventually fans will realize that when you peddle crunch using the previous good reputation of the cream and don't deliver any of said cream, your brand identity is worthless.....it's crunch with a different logo..no different than company a, b, or c's crunch...and then your profit margins fall flat again... You can't have FR crunch without the Cream..the two are symbiotic..same with Middle Earth or Glorantha or Barsaive...the cream is what makes the crunch taste good..... JeffB :) [/QUOTE]
