And  an institution can change due to a shift in personnel (though I would say structure and it’s interests play a big role too). And as a company changes my attitude towards it might also change. I am not getting an impression that the company’s character has changed here. I am getting the impression they are engaged in spin and trying to shift focus away from what they did. And there is a bigger issue this has revealed. Having a large corporation not led by gamers in charge of the most central game to the hobby may itself be an issue. I am not saying other people have to agree with me or go my way on this, but I will be putting my money and energy into gamer led companies that are smaller in sizeAlso it is worth noting here I am generally not someone who believes I should expect much from corporations driven by profit motive. So I usually just buy what products I like. But in this case their actions directly impact a hobby I have been in since I was a kid and that I have been involved professionally. So I think it is fair to care what the character and goals of WOTC/Hasbro seem to be. I feel the same way with music IP issues for example.</blockquote>
