That is crazy talk.I think we can agree that any foray those two companies had made into 4e, had the GSL been much more acceptable, would probably have been half-hearted, considering they have their own line of games.
They would either go for the best possible quality or not go at all.
That choice would depend on the market. And who knows how that choice would have gone were it not for the GSL. (Paizo made their call early, kudos for their foresight) The GSL just made other issues moot.
But the claim that they would go in half-hearted is absurd and rather insulting to their professionalism.
Further, if GR were doing 4E AND M&M, that would support 4E a hell of a lot more than GR doing M&M and NOT 4E.
