But the undeniable fact is...WotC went about it in a I dont want to say Hostile manner, but definately an antagonistic manner with some of its fan base. When Microsoft, walmart, Hyundai, Sears acts in a manner towards its customer base, its not not silly at all to have hard feelings towards that company. WOTC is no different then any of the above companies. Besides what they did, how they went about it in manners that brought hard feelings- using your Dungeon and Dragon magazine example, Wotc certainly didnt expect the outrage they got, which lead them to trot out various folks to tell their stories to cool the anger. The fact is, when a company, ANY company for any product, decides that their going to do something in the manner WoTC has, they deserve said anger and hard feelings. And said customers will take their money elsewhere. And its not up to the customers to lose their anger to that they would otherwise "enjoy the game". Its up to a company to earn the customer. Frankly I dont begrudge Wotc for the new edition. If you enjoy it, great, but its not for me, for more than a few reasons. But on the flip side, Wotc set themselves up for and earned those hard feelings. And loss of customers.</blockquote>
