And that's because most of the experiences were positive. I don't want to give the impression that it was terrible to work there. It wasn't. We had a blast. I probably laughed more in the years 1994-1998 than I have in any other 12 year period of my life. We had really good times, and (in my opinion) did some good work.  But the difference between where the execs worked and where the creatives worked was striking. (As I suspect the salary differences were as well, but then that's true at WotC too.)And the executives didn't know spit about the game, and they didn't care. They looked down on gamers and on creative people. And they wouldn't spring for a real study. They were cheap. At best, they probably asked a few distributors and store owners some leading questions.</blockquote>
