[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3860750, member: 2205"] Not only do I not get that... well, I don't even know if I get that or not, because I can't make heads or tails of that sentence. Think you could layer one more clause into it, by any chance? How is that different than any other industry? If you like a house paint color that's no longer in production, you can't go to your local Sherwin Williams store and just buy it, you'll have to find a close substitute. If you like 1967 Ford Mustangs, you have to buy a used one. Ford doesn't make 1967 model year Mustangs anymore. If you like a book or video game that's out of print, you have to buy it used. Tough luck, buddy. You know what else? Those companies don't ask their customer base for input either, except via market research. Which WotC has done. So your complaint rings pretty hollow to me. It either shows an expectation of unreasonable entitlement, or a fundamental misunderstanding of how businesses actually work. [/QUOTE]
