[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6566743, member: 42582"] Repeating this won't make it true. It's simply not the case that the people who bought 4e "hated D&D" or "didn't like WotC's product". Some people who bought 4e liked D&D. Some of them (not me, but several of my players) liked 3E. Some of them (including me) liked aspects of B/X and AD&D. Some of them (especially me) liked the tone of fantasy roleplaying that is quintessential to D&D. You didn't like 4e. This is equally the case for plenty of other D&D-players. But you are not the true D&D partisans. You just happen (it seems) to like different things in RPGing from what I do. That you may be more typical than me is an important commercial fact for WotC, but it doesn't show that you love D&D more than I do, nor that WotC - in making something that I enjoyed but you didn't - had turned its back on D&D and its fans. I posted the following (as part of a longer post) on Feb 3, 2011 (Australian time - so maybe a day earlier for you): You posted in the same thread about 7 hours later, replying to another post of mine made about 20 minutes later, so presumably you read it at the time. I'm not sure what sort of concession you are wanting from 4e fans four years later - to admit that they (we) were weirdos and wreckers all along? [/QUOTE]
