Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizarDru" data-source="post: 458810" data-attributes="member: 151">Actually, that's the single biggest problem, IMHO.  Most gaming stores are run by...well...gamers.   Folks who are more interested in playing the games than selling them, quite honestly.  I know that this has been true for almost all of my FLGSs over time...although some have been much better about customer service than others.That said, amazon's usually treated me well.  Quite honestly, if I can get BoVD and d20 Modern for $46, with no shipping cost, then I'm willing to wait a week.  I feel your pain, but honestly, this really is a case of expectations being misset as much as Amazon's failure.  I'm not going to bother you with the very real concerns of inventory management of a company in Amazon's position...but Amazon's track record overall has been very good.  Expecting them to be the subject of an impulse buy just isn't realistic, IMHO.Side note: WotC's glory days are the gamer equivalent of 'Camelot'.  Gamers making big salaries working on games, with the hope of a bright future.  For a couple of years there, it looked like WotC had the Midas touch...then reality set in.  No one should be suprised that WotC had multiple layoffs...only that they managed to hold off as long as they did before doing so.  With a notable exception, I really haven't heard any of the former-wizards employees bemoaning their dismissal.  Remember, a lot of them sat over TSR's deathwatch.  And of course, many of them are now freelancers, so they still draw a paycheck...but not a consistent one.</blockquote>
