[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 3943424, member: 51747"] Wacky idea, but I'd still like to hear thoughts on it: What if the WotC boys know that the changes they are making aren't "breath-takingly wonderful." Heck, say they think they had to make so many compromises that they think the whole of the product stinks. I believe WotC_Logan said that 4E is a team effort. My day job is a government contractor; I can tell you how many great ideas came out of a committee. I think I can count them on 1 finger and still have atleast a finger left over. But anways, say that what WotC fears most is the 3rd party companies "killing" 4E by publicly saying, "We have reviewed the rules and we are sticking with 3E," or "we're going to come up with our own game," or etc. So they are going to withhold the rules as long as possible in hopes of minimumizing that effect. Similar idea to when Hollywood puts out a movie so bad that they don't let the critics see it before opening day, what if WotC would rather have the 3rd party companies say, "We're going to continue supporting 3.5 because we don't have the rules yet and will review the 4E rules once we get them," because its better then saying, "we have reviewed the rules and are choosing to support a different like of products." thoughts?
