Not one post has accused 4E of being a 'bad game,' as you say (although there was a veiled implication that it wasn't marketed as well as it could have been, and many suggestions that the economy sucks, which could be considered 'negativity,' although I don't see anyone blaming the price of oil on Hasbro or 4th edition...). The most 'negative' stuff I've seen are some posters *defending* 4E and claiming that Chris Pramas has some evil agenda and biasing his data to make 4E look bad, because, uh, well, no reason really, since he's releasing a 4E product as we speak, and has shifted away from 3rd edition to support True20 and M&M and *has no reason to bash 4E, since it would be counter his own market position!* What sort of whacky unhinged conspiracy theory is this? Chris Pramas is trying to sell us a 4E product, and so he's telling us that 4E sucks? Why on earth would he do that? And he didn't anyway. Yeesh. The drama. Some dude heard from some distributers that 4E was selling about as well as 3E. Wow. That's like fighting words, apparently, to compare a companies latest product with it's best-selling previous product! Heaven forfend he's said something *really* controversial, like that 4E hasn't made WotC as much money as they've made off of Magic: the Gathering!</blockquote>
