[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 353215, member: 203"] And how do you know that WotC doesn't do anything like this for their employees? Do you work there? Are you privy to the hiring/firing processes that make up Hasbro and WotC? Possibly you are - in which case forgive me and I will move along. However even if WotC kicks people out on the street and has them beaten with d20's I cannot for the life of me figure out why a boycott would be in anyone's interest, least of all a fan's. If WotC publishes garbage, don't buy (is there an echo in here?) there are plenty of reviewers around now to help you avoid bad product. I personally have everything I need from WotC - PHB, DMG and the OGL. I have purchased more 3rd party stuff than I ever will from WotC (this hasn't changed much since the old TSR days - I was always the one to buy non-D&D games to try out). I have noticed that the really talented people that WotC has let go (and those who have left of their own accord) seem to do very well for themselves outside of WotC. I can understand feeling bad for people losing their jobs (everyone I know has been there at some point in their lives and it is truly the most scary of times) but this has been happening across North America for the better part of a year - I honestly am amazed that WotC has been shrunk even more. Hasbro is on life support and sinking fast IMO - a third of their net worth gone in less than a year - and there is little chance of any meaningful economic recovery in the near future. Expert to see this kind of thing at or just before Christmas as well (and remember you read it here first folks :( ) EDIT - just re-reading for flame control and some parts may sound flamish here - please that is not the case - those are actually genuine question at the beginning! Just want to make sure everything is happy-happy here! :) [/QUOTE]
