WE DON'T KNOW.  None of us do.  However, that doesn't stop people like Treebore in the second post of this thread saying..."WOTC is struggling, we know it, some of us know why. Now the question is, will WOTC figure out how to win us back before Hasbro shuts them down?"It's THESE kinds of posts that I'll come in and comment in the thread on.  Because Treebore is just as clueless as the rest of us.  So when he attempts to say definitively that 'WotC is struggling' and that 'he knows it' and 'knows why'... I'll show up to let him know that perhaps things are not so black and white as he believe them to be.I can't speak for other people... but my comments are never strictly 'WOTC RULEZ!  RAH-RAH-RAH!'  They are almost always more moderate comments that give possible explanations as to the methods WotC is taking.  Many people here can't help but talk in hyperbole, and that everything that occurs is either 'WOTC'S DEATH KNELL, SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL!' or 'WOTC IS FANTASTIC AND DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!'  A few of us... tends to try and find the middle ground between both extremes.  Granted, I sometimes get myself a little more worked up than I should.  But I fully admit that I know just as little as everybody else, I'm trying to use the evidence presented to find likely reasons why, that don't devolve into it being just because the company itself is stupid and can't do anything right.And this is where I would mirror my comments from my very first post in this thread.  So what?  What does it mean?  It means WotC doesn't do adventures (that often).  Okay, fine.  They don't tend to publish adventures.  HOWEVER... certain people will then take this fact and try and use it for evidence as to why WotC is 'failing' in their business.  And they'll go on and on in post after post saying that because WotC doesn't do adventures 'they obviously have no idea what they are doing', and 'the company sucks', and 'I hope someone buys the brand who cares about the game!' and other such nonsense.  And don't even get me started on the whole "release old books in PDF form" talking point that can't help but get certain people so worked up you'd think WotC was the Antichrist or something for not doing it.Azgulor... if you really think people keep coming down hard on Paizo and what they've done is a 'fluke'... try taking a look at the dozen threads that crop up that chastise Wizards of the Coast after almost every single thing they do.  I think you'll find that the rancor is probably equally thick on both sides.</blockquote>
