[QUOTE="Jay Lofstead, post: 479992, member: 7199"] I think AV will try to do as much as he can. But he will be constrained by budgets and what they believe they (hasbro) can make on the investment. Right now, I think he is being allowed to address pressing needs to reduce the PR problems they are having around the number of problems seen. I would be surprised to see it go beyond the core rules (even to include their own products) or be expanded to allow entry of non-core rules. At this point it looks like they would either have to figure out how to repair the relationship with Fluid (and first decide if it is worth it) or start from scratch (which could be as simple as granting license to one of the existing competing products to be "official"). Knowing that the one programmer that was working on it is gone (I remember reading that elsewhere on the E-Tools threads here), they have a black-box that doesn't meet seemingly the majority of customers' desires. I wonder what kind of feedback WotC has gotten from customers outside of what we all see on the boards? [/QUOTE]
