[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 5094920, member: 85870"] I apologize if my earlier comments caused problems, the idea was to compare what I felt was Paizo's approach to the gaming community versus their largest competitor. My real point was that if Paizo is growing, it's because they have so far (knock on wood) seemed to have avoided the eventual "corporate oversight" numbness that inevitably hits ANY company/corporation that has some measure of success. The list of companies that died while resting on their laurels (i.e., stopped listening to their customer base and stopped being innovative) is too long to list, and I hope that Paizo can maintain their sense of community and customer engagement while they prosper. The last thing I want to see is a successful, critically acclaimed company that is putting out the kinds of products I enjoy lose the edge that got them there in the first place. And if I ever see Paizo start taking "corporate marketing imperatives" more seriously than customer need (as I feel WotC has done), then I will mourn the loss of a great company (as I did for WotC), and look for my RPG products elsewhere (as I have already done with WotC).
