[QUOTE="JRich, post: 9183746, member: 7043485"] I can cook, but professional chefs generally make much better meals than I have ever been capable of making. Also, I have a full-time and then some professional job, family and friends that I want to maintain relationships with, and hobbies other than gaming that I want to devote time to. I pay the game designer because they have more specialized knowledge than me and are in a position to devote full-time time to game design or adventure writing (because, literally, it is their job). If I just want to make it all up myself, what am I even buying the game for? If I pay money for a professionally cooked meal at a fancy restaurant and it’s no better than McDonald’s, you bet I’m going to complain and rightfully so. The chef (or anyone else) can’t reasonably say “make yourself a meal if you don’t like what I cooked for you”. Sure, but what am I paying the chef for? [/QUOTE]
