[QUOTE="sunshadow21, post: 7679504, member: 6667193"] As for Paizo doing much the same thing, the issue is one of scale. It's unlikely that anyone outside this particular industry even knows much about Paizo beyond very basic facts. WotC and Hasbro are a very different story, being the only company in the rpg industry that anyone else is going to even pretend to care about. WotC is also the only one that thus far has had extensive contacts in other industries. If all of the projects that Paizo is working on truly take off, than I would expect Paizo would have to deal with reaction outside the industry as well, and sooner rather than later. And it wouldn't hurt Paizo or the rest of the industry to think about the implications of this conversation now rather than later. But for now, WotC, as the flagship company, pretty much gets the entire spotlight to themselves. Paizo is less likely to have difficulties when it does hit this stage simply because it can preplan for them, but WotC seems to have gotten much better about this since the 4E days; once fans can relax a bit and get back down to a less overtly hostile stance, the company will be fine, and threads like this will simply be expected and handled in the normal course of business.
