[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4679130, member: 5202"] I'm sorry, but there are a great chunk of companies out there that if you call them to ask about a rumored new product (or whatever), you will hear the token "Microsoft/Apple/etc does not comment on rumors". If you are releasing a new edition in 3 years, do you really go ahead and tell people then "Hey it's 2009, we're gonna have a new edition out in 2012. Not as backwards compatible as some would like, but we think it will be pretty fun. Oh yeah, keep buying our current edition the next 3 years. Kthxbai!". Sorry, that is just asking to never sell another product until you release your new one. Rememebr, people started asking WotC "Hey are you gonan release a new edition next year" probably about 6 months after 3.5 went out the door. Do you really expect them to address that? The shaking your fist comment wasn't an insult either. They could have said something like "There are certain inevitabilities in life. Death, Taxes, and a new edition of D&D. It will happen when it happens". The farmer shaking his fist at the sky is just an amusing image to me, one I've seen many times in various media. IMO, if you can read that and see it as an insult, it's possible that you may just be looking for something to be insulted by. [/QUOTE]
