I know there is still emotion on this issue. I just sense it is diminishing.   I agree it was bad pr. But I also think this move was probably going to anger lots of gamers either way. Both for the reasons you site (there are people just waiting for the big companies to make a mistake) and because I think gamers take these things much more personally than starbucks' customers, or Wendy's Customers (though that "Premium" Fish sandwich got me riled up).   But I think with a company as big as Wizards (at least in terms of RPGs), people seperate the company as a collective from the artists and writers as individuals. I have to admit though, getting a personal post from people at wizards on boards like this, has to have a moderating influence on peoples' reactions.</blockquote>
