[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8895816, member: 58197"] Exactly. Who really thinks Wizards execs are sitting down and reading each individual message from the canceled subs? To the extent there is any negotiation going on here, it's with the [I]community[/I], not with [I]you personally. [/I]Your contribution is one more canceled sub with the text "OGL" somewhere in the explanation box. And if your particular message does somehow end up on a PowerPoint slide in front of a bunch of executives, who knows how they'll take it? The person who says "I'm willing to come back if you do X, Y, and Z" could make them think "Oh, the fans aren't [I]that[/I] mad, we'll just do something [I]sort of like [/I]X and it'll be fine," while the person who says "I'm through with Hasbro forever!" could result in "Uh-oh, the fans are [I]really [/I]mad, we may not be able to ride this out after all." Or they might take it the exact opposite. No way to know. The point is that you, D&D Fan #15882, are not sitting in a room with Cynthia Williams and Chris Cocks, engaged in a give-and-take discussion. You are generating a data point in a chart somewhere.
