Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zulkir" data-source="post: 175981" data-attributes="member: 1943">Anthony rants>>2) Has allowed WotC, a company many of us feel is the evil empire, to gain even more control over the game industry. The game industry is now, essentially, being controlled by a bunch of suit-wearing morons who don't actually play the games they sell. <<This is the part that ticks me off enough to respond. This is, in my humble opinion, unmitigated b*llsh*t! All of the people who are directly involved with the creation of RPGs play D&D. Thus:Everyone in R&D plays all of the timeEveryone on the business team is in a regular gameEveryone who does our marketing playsEveryone on the D&D Project Management team playsEveryone in Direct Sales playsOur hobby sales person playsEveryone who works on Dungeon and Dragon magazines playsEveryone who worked in conventions plays (I think, there might have been one or two exceptions to this one)Now, those who may not play (once again there might be some exceptions)Our accountants (finance)Our payroll peopleOur janitorsOur lawyersSome of the people who only work on our other products or only do Administrative functions (and alot of them play too)Is it impossible that this guy heard someone from WotC make a rude comment about gamers and say that they never play the game? No, its not impossible. But it wasn't anyone who had any contact with D&D in any way.Anthony Valterra (a gamer since junior high and I'm 38 years old)</blockquote>
