[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 3850155, member: 18549"] I think his point is that it's kind of lame to criticize WotC for promoting their product in a way that anyone would do if they were in the same position. They're hardly going to avoid telling you that the new edition is better than the old edition. If you were working on the new edition, you'd probably be of the opinion that the work you did was an improvement, right? If you were in charge of marketing it, you'd be an idiot if you didn't give people the impression that there was a good reason to buy it, right? So why criticize them for having a completely rational and predictable stance on how to market their flagship product? There are plenty of things to criticize that are worth criticism. I read this sort of thing as criticizing WotC for being a publisher. [/QUOTE]
