[QUOTE="renau1g, post: 5135694, member: 54810"] Yes it would have been nice, but they didn't. Maybe if they could go back in a time machine they might do things differently, but they can't. Hell if they could go back they might not have kicked Paizo out the door and created one hell of a competitor. So, I feel that at face value this is a good thing, sure it's likely in their best interests. As I mentioned above, Hasbro/their board of directors is only really concerned with the bottom line (as is Paizo's ownership I'm sure) and therefore every $ they spend on marketing like this has to be backed up by some sort of expected benefit. At least it was that way in any organization I worked for in the past and present. End of the day you can hate them for what they did (which I still am bummed about virtual table-top :() or you can maybe just look going forward. They've done a pretty good job lately with their DDI content, monster builder has bugs, but overall is the best tool I've ever had as a DM, and this seems like a step in the right direction to maybe try and bring some 4e-haters into the fold.
