[QUOTE="Nyronus, post: 5651778, member: 93419"] A long-time industry vet who may or may not also have ulterior motives. Of course that could be paranoia talking. I mean , after all, [URL="http://www.teleread.com/ebooks/white-wolf-offers-free-download-of-exalted-pdf/"]no one in the industry has ever tried to, or had anything to gain off of trying to stab Wizards in the kidney when they thought they where down. [/URL]Its not like there are other companies out there who made their latest big break [URL="http://i81.servimg.com/u/f81/13/41/12/21/pathfi10.jpg"]by feeding nerdrage and fanboy antagonism.[/URL] No one at all out there would have anything to gain by trying to shake the trust WotC's customers have in it, particularly when the trust is already tenuous. Not that I would suggest this spree of '4e is teh daeds!' is some sort of vast conspiracy conjured up by WotC's competitors. No, I've seen enough of WotC's so called fans and bottom feeders to see that that can develop just fine on its own. But, the fact that out of the three big "insider sources" we've had claiming the death of fourth edition in the last few weeks, two are unknown, one of those most certainly doesn't work for WotC and the other works for Paizo makes me wonder if someone isn't chumming the water to draw the sharks.
