[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4749268, member: 704"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4749206] Weaning Off the Sauce [/url] I can understand the threads about gamers stating distaste with 4th edition and how they no longer wish to support the company because of that. What I cannot understand is the mentality that has people saying they will no longer support a company for reasons that hvae nothing to do with the price or quality of their product. Corporate policy on copyright with respect to electronic formats is an issue that will affect availability and possibly usability of a product. But given the volume of response, I must say that I would be very surprised if even a 50% +1 majority of those posters are really going to be negatively impacted by the cessation of sales for .pdf products. If it turns out that my unreasarched assumptions on how many people actually purchase .pdf products is that far off, then I will happily retract my astonishment if someone can show me some credible statistics. Otherwise, I will assume that most of this is just the result of people being unhappy with what they see as unwarranted corporate strong arming. And going onto my point, I must then ask, why does it matter so much, if the corporation is run by :):):):):):):)s? Until it affects the quality of the product, I do not see a reason to care quite that much. I understand that many feel very strongly about this. Thats ok.
