[QUOTE="Nyronus, post: 5379595, member: 93419"] I want to be clear on this: I am a supporter of capitalism and let no one say otherwise. I never once said that he or anyone else "owes" WotC anything. I never said that and if you inferred it from my posts I have to inform you that you are utterly mistaken. Anyone who cancels over this, I can understand. DDi is still of great value, even for the compendium alone, but I can understand why some people would see the character builder as a deal breaker. What I can't understand or tolerate is "fired us as customers" nonsense. Its abandoning a good majority of value to "punish" a company for not offering a periphery service in the way he wanted. The Character Builder is not the be all end all of 4th Edition. It is an accessory, a periphery product. A toy. Self-righteously quitting the game because of the quality of a side toy is, well, stupid. Its cutting off your nose to spite your face. Its not merely throwing the baby out with the bath water, but burning the house down because you did not feel like cleaning a toilet. Its irrational, petty, and stupid. I am not saying people shouldn't stop paying for a product that they don't like. I am saying people who quit the hobby over what amounts to an add-on either have a total lack of perspective or are being mean or stupid. They are free to do it though. As I said, I am whole hearted supporter of capitalism. They are more than free to shoot themselves in the foot if they so choose. Or, hey, maybe it will turn out that Pathfinder will be better than sliced bread and they'll attain Nirvana. Just let it be known that this self righteous victim act they are putting on has grown old and tiresome. [/QUOTE]
