[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 4745647, member: 221"] I think a lot of people are misunderstanding Stans! point. Which makes me wonder if they really carefully read the editorial. This has nothing to do with money. He acknowledges that they are still the 800 lb gorilla. And he was not talking about being innovative either if I understand him aright, and I think I do. By leading, Stan! is really talking about helping and teaching, showing people a better way of doing things. The view of a leader is not the same as that of a competitor. The old view was that the RPG hobby was an army, or perhaps a family. What helped one helped all. WotC was the man in front, showing the way for everybody to profit. Now WotC sees not a family of gamers, but a field of competitors. Its a different mindset. WotC, from all appearances is not trying to lead, they are trying to dominate. Its not the same thing.
