I don't mean this as a loaded question at all, I'd really like to know. Disclaimer for some: I know this phenomenon might not occur at your table, no need to tell me it doesn't.OFF-TOPIC:[SBLOCK]It was not "keep the magazine." I understood the reasons behind the move. What would have satisfied me at the time was a deal on Paizo product I was interested in equivalent to the deal they offered on Pathfinder (that would be the original new AP, not the RPG). They made a decision to offer more to fans of their adventure paths while fans of stand-alone modules were left with lesser store credit. I wasn't satisfied with their decision. Do I hate them for it? Obviously not, since I would buy product from them again if they sold for a system I use (or if I decided I really liked something they offerred enough to buy and convert it). Blame denotes that I think they are at fault for something. I don't blame them for any faults. I don't agree with some of their business decisions regarding money I had already paid them, that's it.IMO, nobody is the bad guy. What people forget on both sides of this is that WotC and Paizo are made up of real people. So when you demonize either company, you are attacking real people making difficult decisions in their day-to-day work. I think people around here should be handed vacations just as easily for attacking a company as when they make personal attacks against another poster. In this day and age it is. I'm sorry a form of media you enjoy is dying, but it is. Hope you're not holding your breath on the turnaround of the newspaper indusrty too. I never said it wasn't speculation. In fact, I think I referred to my own comments as "tin-foil hat territory."I would have liked to see a deal equivalent to option #1, but instead of Pathfinder modules I would have liked Gamemastery modules. Sure, I could have used my credit from option #3 to buy these, but they offered those willing to choose Pathfinder more value for their dollar than the credit was worth.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
