[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 7661098, member: 73683"] Maybe they are. You have no idea, because you don't work there. More importantly, [B][I]it doesn't matter[/I][/B]. Regardless of what you think they ought to be doing to grow their own business (and I'm going to repeat: [B][I]their own[/I][/B] business), you don't get to claim the moral high ground. They have a right to protect their intellectual property, and it is amoral and unjust of you to act as though you have been somehow wronged, or slighted as a consumer, by them exercising that right. The "old fashioned way" doesn't include them being forced to compete with someone else stealing their work and selling it for less. You seriously need to stop for just a few minutes here and spend some time thinking about this. Your position here is flat-out wrong. This isn't something that opinions merely differ on. There is no rhetorical ground for you to stand on. I think you probably don't even believe the things you're arguing at this point; I think you chose to attack WotC for something legitimate, and when people corrected you, you simply decided to double down (repeatedly) on the error. Now you've found yourself with an extreme position and no way to argue yourself out of it. [/QUOTE]
