[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3482110, member: 5100"] I would imagine that there are a few WotC employees that would like an apology, too. That is, an apology from hot-headed, big-mouthed arm-chair quarterbacks. You don't like the decision, that's fine. It's your right to not like it. It's also your right to shoot your mouth off about it. What I want to know is: how many pointless, impotent, self-aggrandizing threads are going to get started on this issue? It's over and done with. WotC doesn't owe you anything on the matter, least of all an apology. You don't own it. It isn't an essential entity in your life. It's absence isn't going to cause you any undo hardship (and don't tell me "game prep" is a hardship). WotC owes you somewhat less of an apology for killing Dragon and Dungeon than it owes Diaglo for killing OD&D. As I've said elsewhere, I can fully understand some anger over the decision. The level of outrage being demonstrated over a niche, recreational publication is absurd. The mere fact of playing RPGs demonstrates a high affluence (on an absolute scale). Apparently, the stereotypes of a dilettante's legendary temper tantrums over petty slights applies accordingly. [/QUOTE]
