[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3481833, member: 7883"] I highly suspect that WotC does care....it sure doesn't look like it right now, but I bet there are employees who read the boards etc. and are probably seeing all this backlash, and pulling out their hair in frustration that they are not allowed to say anything right now. Someone made a point about smaller companies being able to react, and announce things quicker....that probably had something to do with it. 1-WotC cancels/withdraws the Dragon/Dungeon license 2-Paizo has to say something, because they can't be collecting ad contracts for issues after September. Because the magazine is prepared months in advance, they've probably reached the point where they'd be starting to sell ad space for October right now. If they start not selling space, their regular customers would be starting to wonder why Paizo won't sell ad space to them for October....so Paizo knows the cat's going to get out of the bag, one way or the other. Paize determines they have to make their announcement, in order to serve their customers, and prevent backlash that *could* do severe damage to them, because they're so small. WotC on the other hand, isn't ready to make an announcement, because they're still working on the DI. Or they're waiting for their lawyers, or whatever. Consequently, they weren't prepared for the announcement. I suspect that something in line with that scenario might be how this is playing out. It might look worse than it is, and none of it is intentional. Of course, I also try to believe the best of people. Having said all that, I still can say I'm not happy with the Dungeon/Dragon/Dragonlance announcements. As a customer, I'm disturbed. As a customer, I really hope they have a decent plan in place.......and as a customer, I hope they have a plan to do something that I like with Dragonlance, instead of just sticking it on a dusty shelf, to wither away like BR, PS, DS, etc. Banshee [/QUOTE]
