[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 5047903, member: 44797"] As a few observant people might have noticed, I'm pretty much uninterested in 4E and quite a big 3E purist. I'm still actively buying up 3.5 edition products on Drive Thru RPG. So I understand, Louis, that you could be pissed by Goodman's about-face. I'm on the OGL side of the equation. However, wouldn't it be better to take an "I told you so" attitude than a "FOAD" attitude? Let Goodman come back into the fold. If he does well, great, more viability for 3.5, Pathfinder, and the rest. If he compromises so much that his output is crap, well, then let him suffer the same fate as other 3PP failures. I'd really want to judge him based upon product. I liked his 3.5 edition modules, so I bought them. I had no interest in his 4th edition modules, so I did not buy them. If he makes more 3.5 edition modules, I will buy or not based solely upon appeal. Of course, if you're angry with him because you feel that his earlier comments actively undermined your market and cost you dollars, then I would say that such anger is very understandable. However, I didn't really get that from your blog entry. If you're just pissed that he hit you in the pocket book, maybe say that. Now one last thing: I don't understand this bit of your blog. Goodman seems to be saying, "I stuck with 4th edition." You seem to reply, "No, you [i]stuck[/i] with 4th edition!" I don't get it. If I say "The sky is blue," and you reply, "No, it's blue," then it sounds like you're disagreeing, but you're not. Maybe you can help me understand the nuance you were going for? [/QUOTE]
