[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7660913"] No. Obviously WOTC wants to produce a new D&D movie. I don't think they could make that much clearer with the fact that they [I]are[/I] going to court to regain their rights from whatever that other company is that has made all the terrible D&D movies so far, or some of them. But I'm not talking about WOTC wanting to produce [I]anything at all[/I]. I'm talking about a specific product. One that there is clearly a demand for. One that does not require the amount of investment WOTC has been putting into and not following through with on the issue. For the amount of money WOTC has spent on their failed apps, they could likely have hired [I]everyone[/I] they send a C&D to and already produced a product. So now we're left with no product. No clear intentions to make a product. And no competing products to fill the gap. I trust one thing: businesses want to make money. This thing that WOTC is doing? That's not how you make money. Announce the creation and soon-to-be release of a product. Send out C&Ds. Direct people to your product. Money made. Announce nothing. Release nothing. Send out C&Ds to stifle the market. Direct people to nothing. No money made. When businesses make moves that are not in the interest of furthering their immediate profits, I question their motives. All actions cost money. If the end result of spending money isn't to make more money, then why take the action? [/QUOTE]
