[QUOTE="Jim Hague, post: 3494998, member: 17550"] Or, maybe hopping on the anti-WotC bandwagon in an effort to be hipper-than-thou? Who knows, really? I mean, it's an asinine question, but ascribing some grand conspiracy to it is just plain silly. As I said - I'm not happy with WotC's decision to part ways with Paizo and can the magazines, which are assuredly a part of gaming culture and have been for decades, but tacking this kind of Illuminati-esque attitude onto them is just ridiculous. Making unsupported statements about vast media conspiracies implies that WotC would even [i]want[/i] to do such a thing, which is highly unlikely. Again, apply Occam's Razor here - the simplest answer, likely that the interviewer was posturing for their allegedly tech-savvy audience - is the most likely to be true. So yeah, I agree with you on this, Mark; the interviewer was baiting. I leave the discovery of conspiratorial nonsense and media manipulation to those with apprently much stronger psychic abilities than my own. :p [/QUOTE]
