[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4833148, member: 14848"] Actually you can say both. I reverse your choices so that it makes sense. b) If it was their intention to drive away 3PPs then they succeeded in doing that by delaying and then bumbling the GSL by putting constraints in the agreement to the point it was not feasible to sign on. a) If that's the case then WotC shot themselves in the foot by thinking that they could survive on their own without further 3PP support in a market that has become dependant upon mixing and matching what fits into each individual's tastes. 4e has not gone over as WotC expected. I believe they expected to lose a few people with the change but not as many as they have. Nor do I think WotC expected the outcry to continue on for as long as it has. Though this is more a result of the internet providing a vocal forum for objection where as in the past they could ignore a few letters from fans willing to pay postage to voice complaints. [/QUOTE]
