Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8502768" data-attributes="member: 2209">Obviously.They intentionally and specifically negatively targeted the group of gamers who were buying old D&D PDFs, which included me. They were not significantly aware of me as an individual but I was still in their intended target.We owed each other nothing. I had goodwill towards them before that. They were not owed that either. I had ill will afterwards.It seems perfectly understandable to me.No they specifically were trying to make things worse for the group of people I was in.They were doing this for economic reasons using the specific method of make things worse for this group of people, it is an economic leverage WotC used to pressure the group of people negatively to attempt to get them to do what WotC wanted.I owed them no neutrality of emotions in such a situation.Resenting them for doing so is justified.That they chose to make things worse for me for economic profit reasons that are legal is not a reason for me to not have been angry at them.Its not about whether WotC was within its legal right to do so.Ironically enough I got into 4e late in the cycle when I joined a group that played 4e and so I bought the gift set of PH I & II. I enjoyed it and got into 4e and got the digital tools subscription for a whole year one month before my group decided they were sick of 4e and WotC switched from supporting the offline tools I had bought to online rental access only from then on.They were within their legal right again to switch things, but it was again a switch from a positive to a negative.</blockquote>
