I don't know. You don't know. Worst of all, WotC don't know.The difference is that those people would have been countered by "but this PHB is all you need to play", or "but this PHB is 600 pages long", or whatever. If WotC had revealed the info, we'd have both the pros and cons. As it was, all we had was the downside.That's not the point. Yes, I would very much like to know exactly what products are coming, exactly when, and exactly how much they would cost. I don't think that's unreasonable. But this isn't about me.From a PR point of view it is a bad thing if that information comes from anyone except WotC. Whether it was three months ago, today, tomorrow, or a month ago matters less than that the information comes from WotC. Because, as I said, that way they get to control exactly what gets revealed, they get to control the presentation, and they get to manage the response. By failing to prevent B&N from leaking the information (and worse, by their refusal to comment once the information was out) they gave up that opportunity.</blockquote>
