[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 3478809, member: 15651"] WotC staffers can only say so much. They are part of a publicly traded corporation and have to be careful what they say as representatives of the corporation. Certain information they may have may be proprietary, and cannot therefore be divulged to the public, and anything they say that might place the company in a poor light can get them fired. Even if they take off their WotC hat, they have to be careful. There have been cases of people being fired for what they say in their personal blogs, and so far the courts have upheld the firings because those people made it clear that they worked for the company they were dissing. I do not expect that we will ever hear the entire story of what happened within the confines of WotC and Hasbro, and while it would probably be fun to know, it isn't really our business. My hope for the responses is that they can offer a little more clarity about their plans for the DI, but even then I don't think they will be able to give much until the information is ready to be made public anyway.
