Outdated and obsolete both mean that a product has been replaced by something better and that the old product is no longer of any use (or not still in use). This describes the model T ford and it may describe RC D&D for YOU but it does not describe said product in general. RC D&D is still in use by a great many people (FAR more than you seem to think) and, more importantly, it still works just fine. Many think it works better than anything which has come after in fact. It's also very much available and if you'd like a copy I can easily direct you as to where to get it.D&D 3e may have rendered RC D&D (or any other OOP game) obsolete and outdated in your case but saying this is so for gamers in general is a false statement not supported by the facts. The same goes for calling C&C a nostalgia product designed only to give a very small portion of gamers a "warm and fuzzy" feeling of a lost age. The creators of the game have come by and said as much so whether you think C&C succeeded in its goal or not, the idea was NOT to create a nostalgia product. Once more, stating that it feels like a nostalgia product to YOU does not make it fact.Finally, I (and the Trolls) have made it quite clear where the misunderstanding regarding the advertising comes from. You can, again, disagree that the Trolls did not do a good job with their advertising but the point remains that they never intended those statements to mean the game would be 100% complete and that you would never need or want further material. That would be a rather foolish product in fact. The idea is for the C&C phb to give you enough information to get started and it does that...and then some.So agree or not, what you are doing is stating your opinions of the game as fact. That's my only beef. So I'm not sure why you feel I'm "blasting" you as I only stated that your opinions aren't facts. They are simply how one person feels about the game. And as I said from the start, I have nothing against your opinions or the games you play. I only take issue with the way you state your opinions as facts...nothing more. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
