[QUOTE="broghammerj, post: 350972, member: 1869"] I think that this is really somantics. I view the companies as one of the same, one just happens to be a subsidiary. WotC position in the corporate ladder leaves it little power. I want to weaken it further so that it's sold and rebuilt or the DND license is sold to someone who gives a damn. They can't keep releasing products and firing their best creative minds. Lets put it simply. Maybe my hyperbole is a bit extreme but I feel like I've just set sail on the Titanic and I'm a little concerned about our Captain. I want to kick WotC around. They've certainly kicked all of us around. They are slowly fading out FR (for all you FR haters this may be a good thing), Cthulhu is getting no support, SW is going freelance, who knows what they'll do with D20 Modern. They've alienated their fans in some way with almost every product. This has to stop. I really wish this is the way corporations would work, but lets face it. I would like a show of hands of anyone who supported the last two big layoffs. You're going to be hard pressed to find anyone. Hasbro is like that old grumpy guy who can't hear anymore and refuses to listen. All they hear is the chi-ching of coinage. They haven't heard from the fans in quite some time. I would like to start backing a winning horse. Look at Monte's work with Malhavoc and the merging with Swords and Sorcery. Could you imagine the potential power of Monte, Skip, Grub, Reynolds etc. forming their own company. With the OGL and new 3rd party talent, WotC may only creating more competition for themselves.
