[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5428779, member: 6667746"] Yeah terrible business decisions and pretty much fraud and embezzlement that didnt have to do with D&D didn't play any part in that. Nor did the fact the CEO detested gamers in the first place... Those aging 20-40 years olds are also the ones with money to spend and willingness to play. Everyone is allowed to have their own dream of what they would do if they made the decisions, and the speculation here is based on that mixed with confusion about what is going on. Sorry my near 30 years of computer programming isn't part of the gaming industry, but it does reflect bad when so many people can seem to do things and come up with better ideas for the digital portions of the "game" that the company doing it with multi-million dollar backer as its parent company. I think i see where your frustration is coming from, you don't want to lose 4th edition, well it will happen, so get ready for that now while you have time for it. People can read the writing on the wall, such as was said by Erik Mona in regards to Borders as well other people who were customers could see strange things happening, such as is with WotC right now like when 3rd first came out and 4th. Drastic changes in behavior send up red-flags for people to worry. We do play D&D after all, and over time have trained ourselves to look for these red flags, and in the game they are often plot hooks. What is wrong with people taking the plot hook when the red flags go up in the real world and seek to investigate and try to reason out what is going on? [/QUOTE]
