[QUOTE="Perram, post: 6638193, member: 84740"] What Paizo did for the entire industry was huge, not just what they did for themselves. They proved that, for awhile at least, you could out D&D the official D&D. That whatever WotC chose to do wasn't law. That we could CHOOSE what games to play and what games to write. That there was no impossible challenge. And now the industry is flooded with well received games. Not just Pathfinder. 4e failing is one of the best things that could have happened to the RPG industry, in my opinion. And GMforPowergamers: You made a hostile statement and are surprised people took it as hostile. You admit you're angry more and more lately. And your most emotional call out was to an argument at a con making your friend cry. Your arguments keep shifting even if you don't realize it, and I think its clear that this issue is beyond rational discussion with you when you have such an emotional dedication against Paizo and Pathfinder. We do not have to guess what happened. The entire transition from 3.x to 4e and the rise of Pathfinder has been well documented. And the motives you ascribe and the events you assert just did not happen. We can prove otherwise. (And I'm one of the people who has done a massive share of that documenting! Morrus is another! I can link you to interviews and recordings going back to the dawn of Pathfinder.) [/QUOTE]
