[QUOTE="Spinachcat, post: 4294355, member: 37588"] Ugh, that was a painful blog post. The author is a sharp guy who drank the Internet Kool Aid. I know its impossible for most forum people to imagine, but the vast majority of gamers have NEVER heard of ENworld, RPG.net or WebRPG or any other online game site. They know Amazon and eBay. We just did 4e demos with hundreds of people at the last LA convention and whenever we said anything about the ENworld 4e Lite we got blank stares from 90% of the people. These are hardcore RPG players who pay money to play D&D at cons and they had no freaking idea what we were talking about. Some had no idea 4e was coming out this year. 39% of any online gaming survey is useless - doubly so on a forum that has been dedicated to 3e. I fully admit that I get caught up in the Internet Kool Aid as well. I actually thought Ron Paul had a chance so its an easy thing to believe that Teh Intarweb = Teh Real Life when there is no notable correlation. [/QUOTE]
