[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9210616, member: 7035894"] It seems pretty lousy to assume dishonesty on Glicker's part because he doesn't share your cynicism about this particular product. Is it not even possible that he just thinks it's really good? You are second guessing his motives [I]and you have no idea what you are talking about.[/I] You haven't even seen the VTT he is discussing! It could be amazing, for all you know! It seems like you've already made up your mind, and there is no evidence that can persuade you otherwise, to the extent that you are impugning Glicker's character. But if you're not open to the possibility of being wrong, then what is the point of even being in the discussion? To just vent and accuse people of lying? I'm kind of skeptical about the VTT myself. I'm not really a VTT kind of guy - I'm super passionate about miniatures-based play, and I'm not great with tech. So I'm not really the target audience for this.
