[QUOTE="Brown Jenkin, post: 4764071, member: 2572"] No they haven't commented on just the older stuff. That is part of what is leaving people scracthing their heads. The fact that we are still talking about it indicates that it is negtive PR. The fact that Greg Leeds has had to come out and do interviews indicates that it is negative PR. Whether WotC chooses to see it is something that only WotC can answer. So if the older stuff was because it wasn't cost effective why not say so. They have had multiple oportunities to say so. They have not. Which still leaves the question of if it wasn't piracy then what was it. Your option is valid but they don't seem to be willing to say so even though it would go along way to calming people down. This goes back to the stupidity option because they are not not giving (your) valid reason when they could do so. I don't think it is productive for them to continually anger older fans, but it is their choice. If angering older fans resulted in more new fans I could see the benefit, but I don't see how what they are doing would draw in new fans. [/QUOTE]
