Message: <blockquote data-quote="RFisher" data-source="post: 4390384" data-attributes="member: 3608">I really tried to give them a 3 or 4, but I ended up with a 2.Let’s start with the computer products for 3e, which was entirely mismanaged. And they dared say, “Buy this crap or you won’t get anything else.” Lots of signs make me feel they’ve learned nothing in this area.Then there’s the fact that their web site has always been only passable. They have good content, but the design and usability was never great. It’s only gotten worse. Oddly, at a time when they’re trying to convince people to pay for online content.I’ve argued for taking the magazines online, but if you’re going to take them away from Paizo, you better be very sure your going to have something better.The forums. OK, maybe I’m silly for mourning the loss of NNTP access, but the Gleemax thing was not only silly, but badly handled as well.They did make some older stuff freely available. They did the ESD program. They did eventually make the oD&D boxed set available as a PDF.I’ve said my bit on minis, and I don’t care to re-open that discussion.I think they’ve done a poor job on producing entry level RPG products, and as the biggest company in the industry they should be doing much, much better at that.And, of course, there’s the fact that Wizards products aren’t earning much of my money.Of course, I’m much better at listing negatives than positives. There are lots of positives about the company.Plus, I’m only really judging from a D&D angle, which isn’t really fair to them. (Although it really bugs me to see Avalon Hill reduced to what it is, but I don’t know that I can blame Wizards for that.)Hmm...I guess I probably shouldn’t gone for three instead.</blockquote>
