[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5423511, member: 7006"] Hey, I have no intention of buying the Fortune Cards because I don't feel the need to have them. But I also don't decry them for making them. Just because WotC produces items that some of us don't want or plan to use doesn't mean they're foolish for doing so or that they're f-ing with their customer base. They spent a whole heap of money producing pre-painted plastic miniatures for a whole new miniatures game back in 3.5 when they could have easily just made counters or tokens. And there were plenty of people who got all up in arms about it, enough so that quite a few 3PP companies produced counters and tokens themselves and did fairly well with it. Does this mean that WotC shouldn't have bothered? I don't think so. And for the same reason, did WotC waste time and money producing Dungeon Tiles when we players already had wet and dry erase grid maps to accomplish the same thing? Again... I don't think so. So why don't we all wait about six months to see how these Fortune Cards sell before declaring them to be a waste, huh? Because although [I]you[/I] may not like them or want them does not automatically mean it was wrong to produce them. [/QUOTE]
