[QUOTE="Bugleyman, post: 6511674, member: 62949"] Without offering any opinion of the merits (or lack thereof) of the slower release schedule, I'll note that there is no shortage of "WotC is a big company, therefore they must know best" in this thread. Big companies react slowly, have trouble changing direction, and typically suffer from group think. And frankly, they are often arrogant. Do they enjoy advantages? Absolutely. Economies of scale. Financial reserves. Etc. But should we assume they make good decisions because they're big? Nope. In fact, one could be forgiven for thinking a single glance at the numerous follies of Corporate America would have put that canard to bed long ago. :confused: After all, 4E was a disappointment -- if not an outright failure -- despite having all of WotC's resources and "superior information" behind it.
