[QUOTE="Sir Brennen, post: 8488387, member: 553"] I'm old enough to remember those times (note my avatar), and don't recall a lot of argument amongst the [I]game's fandom[/I] of those events. (Sure, lots of feelings about 2E coming out, as with any new edition, but conversations about the company with regards to that were tangential. People were talking about the changes to the [I]game[/I].) I mean, were there fans of TSR rabidly defending their litigious nature? As with anything, there are degrees, but I don't think I ever saw anyone say what TSR was doing at that time was a Good Idea in its totality. Of course, we're talking about the days when such discussions were had in the letters pages of Dragon magazine, where the company obviously had control over what was printed, or small BBS's, or UseNet... in short, not a particularly wide audience to either participate or observe such discussions, so there may have been a pro-sue-the-fans faction I'm not aware of. Still, I don't think it's those divisions that LaNasa has been trying to tap into in this day and age. I don't disagree at all. I'm just saying the difference in those perspectives isn't the energy LaNasa is tapping into. I think even people who remember the screw-ups of old TSR might still be interested in new products with their trademark, mainly because of the implications of the types of products that might mean. At least, might have been interested, until nuTSR also revealed itself to be a clusterduck of incompetence. But he is at the same time, and to a large degree contradictorily, trying to tap into the divisions created by WotC's actions on labeling some older material as potentially out of touch. And there is a fair amount of heat there (just read the latest thread on the Errata), but looking at his IndieGoGo, it's more smoke than fire. [/QUOTE]
