[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 7240281, member: 63245"] For the people saying if you don't like it don't buy it. Protip, its actually possible to be critical of a company and still support them. Its seems that over the past few years people have developed this binary mindset of either. I HATE IT ITS THE WORST EVER or OMG I LOVE IT ITS THE BEST EVER. There is a middle ground, you can disagree with policies and still support a company overall. Its amazing to me how few people actually understand this. I don't have to participate in white knighting and circle jerking WOTC every decision they make, and if you want to still push the "If you don't like it don't buy it" agenda, im certainly not going to spend 30 bucks on this digital copy.
