[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 3766822, member: 44184"] I'll throw out the same response to this that I did a few weeks ago when people said, "They're only putting out a new edition so that they can make money!" So? I expect that from companies. My dad owns restaurants in the area I live. When they change things every couple of years or so, they tend to be big changes. All at once, a lot of stuff is dropped from the menu and some new stuff appears on the menu. (For the record, peanut butter on a bacon cheeseburger is actually ridiculously good. Orgasmic, even.) There have been times in the past when they dropped my favorite stuff. I complained, but I kept eating there. I found new stuff to like. Why does he change his menu? He likes to mix stuff up. He doesn't want things to fall into a rut and become boring, so he makes some new and interesting things, or he snags the ideas from other places (Peanut Butter Burger came from a restaurant by Purdue) and he tries to bring in new people. Especially people who don't normally come to his place. Why? He wants to make more money. He's passionate about his product and his business, but he also wants to make money. He sells merchandise, too. Sometimes, new shirts come in when there's a new design and the old ones go away. That's the way that EVERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS works. So Wizards is putting out a new menu/edition. Some new things appear and some old things disappear. They'll use ideas from other places and people will keep going there. They even put out some new clothing designs/minis in the interest of getting the name out there and making a few extra bucks. So? I challenge you to find one business that doesn't do what I've said. By the way: [url]www.betweenthebuns.com[/url] It's one of the most popular restaurants/sports bars in the South Bend area. [/QUOTE]
