[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6504551, member: 2067"] Okay, but riddle me this: why should anyone take your opinion more seriously than the opinion of WotC? Presumably, WotC knows more about the risks and rewards of this plan than anyone else, and they've got a financial stake in making sure it pans out. More than one person's paycheck is contingent on them getting it right, and they're not bumbling buffoons who don't know how financial planning works (admittedly, a bit of a presumption on my part). They know what the near future holds. They think it can work. In fact, they think it's a [I]better[/I] idea. "Paizo does it!" isn't a really good reason why WotC should (in fact, it's a pretty good reason why they shouldn't -- they can differentiate themselves from their competitor here). "It will hurt the game" is nebuous paranoia. "The game will start to look abandoned" doesn't gel with the current experience (there's an adventure coming out in March, and they just got finished releasing the major books). So why should someone agree with your thesis? [/QUOTE]
