[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4749918, member: 29112"] Company policies, to the extent that I am aware of them of course, certainly do affect my choices as a consumer. This is by no means restricted to WotC, or just producers of gaming books or whatever. I know a lot of people whose choices are also affected in this way, to whatever extent, and whichever issues are in question. Some say, 'support WotC, or gaming will die!!1!'. BS. [I]Support companies and individuals who support gaming and gamers[/I], or gaming might well suffer. Not [I]die[/I] - I don't believe that for a second, but suffer, yes. Diminish? Yeah, quite possibly that too. There are other, sometimes rather more dire, reasons why I don't support various other - totally unrelated - businesses. But I think mentioning them by name, let alone possible reasons to personally deny them profits or any other kind of support, would be outside the boundaries set here. So yeah, WotC is by far not the biggest, most ugly ogre out there. But some of what they have done over the last one and a half years or so. . . I won't simply put up with. Likewise, any other RPG company who decides to be just as arrogant, offensive, condescending, thoughtless, careless, and repeatedly misleading. [/QUOTE]
