[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 8334843, member: 85870"] What is even the point? I am positively flummoxed, baffled, befuddled, confounded why anyone involved with this company [I]that has yet to produce a single sale-able product [/I]thinks that there's some hidden, pent up value to "TSR - The Brand". What, do they think there's this horde of late boomer / Gen-X buyers who are just dying to spend money on a trip to "TSR Nostalgia-ville"? Like, TSR the Original Company (tm) was just so dash-spangled awesome that there's this latent market just waiting for them to produce content to sell? As if the brand name is some magical talisman that will guarantee business success? The 35-and-under gaming crowd couldn't care less. Is there a single gamer under the age of 35 that would give two farts about the existence of "TSR"? I'm in my early 40s, and I don't even care about the current version of Dungeons and Dragons sold by Wizards of the Coast. Why in the name of Elminster am I going to care about "Dungeons and Dragons" product created by "TSR - The Hapless 4th Iteration of a Useless Brand Name"? On every possible level of business management and customer market analysis, this is truly, truly stupid. The negativity and demonstrated lack of inclusivity exhibited on social media by TSRTTSR ([I]TSR the Truly Stupid Revival)[/I] stakeholders is just gasoline being poured onto an already raging dumpster fire.
