[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 7752363, member: 6667921"] Now it's pineapples and oranges? You have a strange infatuation for fruit-based arguments. Ok, I'll bite! :D I think I made it pretty clear that I am not ordering the Hawaiian pizza. And I have not actually made a complaint about how the Hawaiian pizza was being delivered, only the contrast in difference on how two different pizza companies deliver their particular brand of pizza. (Are we done with the abstract fruit/pizza metaphors now?) You literally don't know when not to use the word "literally". See what I did there? I don't understand why you're taking umbrage in the first place, though your flimsy arguments and examples suggest that you don't either. (I'll get back to that in a minute.) If I had not disclosed my own personal preference, nothing I wrote [I]should[/I] imply which approach I thought was better. I don't think either is better or worse. As I have tried to convey several times, it's not about a competition. It's simply an observation of approach. I have not been denying or accusing anyone if they like WotC' style because some people are enjoying it. But there is a distinct difference. Since you like to cite specific references to try building an argument, here's a little assignment for you. Find the following instances where: 1) Paizo used codenames in public to hide the name of any future product. 2) Paizo teased a picture of some partially obscured product so as to hide the name or contents of any future product. 3) Paizo made a deliberate attempt to mislead their audience into guessing the wrong [I]anything[/I] about a future product. These are all things WotC has done in recent years with 5e products. That is not an accusation; that's just an observation. And that is what I am pointing at when I talk about contrast. Differences, not similarities. Pineapples and oranges. ;) [/QUOTE]
