[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4025963, member: 18280"] If it makes any difference to you, I see real improvement in the marketing strategy between initial announcement and now. Talking to the major 3rd party players and getting them on board, and letting some respected playtesters say positive things about the game was, IMHO, a [i][b]good decision[/b][/i][b][/b]. Yes, there is some negative feedback, but if (for example) Ari wasn't pretty much in the 90% liking it camp, I don't think his posts (even positive comments) would sound like he was. And a lot of folks around here respect Ari's opinion (including me). The two big (gargantuan, IMHO) gaffes still out there are (1) the Gleemax TOU (which, if tied into the DI subscriptions & gaming table, mean that I will never, ever, ever, use them, even if they were otherwise the best thing since sliced bread) and (2) the DI itself, which deserves some full-time support. Other than that, in terms of information flow and responsiveness, I think WotC's marketting has gone from Zero to Hero. I have to admit that I am now actually interested in at least seeing the system, which I wasn't even remotely interested in earlier. That is a major change in perspective, so you must be doing something right. RC [/QUOTE]
