[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 8945291, member: 25619"] This is asking WotC to waste money and steer into controversy. GAZ10 has somewhere between 2501-5000 total sales in 9 years. In other words, it’s a product that brings in maybe 300 sales & $1200 in profit per year, probably less since gaming sales tend down over time. The demand is that they invest in this product and give it a high profile while apologizing for something done 2 corporate owners ago - for a product which they don’t care about, accrues to nothing else in their product road map, makes no serious money, and is causing reputational harm. Doing so wouldn’t be a logical business decision - all pain, negative gain. Much more business reasonable to simply stop selling it. And if you read what I wrote, you’d see my concern is the SECOND witch-hunt. I don’t care about GAZ10. But is GAZ10 [I]really, really[/I] the only objectionable product? At some point, an on-going petition and drop it process may well lead to a demand for a thorough review of everything old - which would logically led to mass dropping of old products, rather than investing in them to “review” and dealing with ongoing noise. Cut bait is logically what a business would do. About calls to ban 5e stuff some day - oh yeah, it will probably happen. D&D has always been controversial. I‘m trying to respond to your actual questions to my post, though I understand EnWorld conversations often devolve into yelling. I won’t reply to whatever you post back - free shot! - and I’m calling this done. [/QUOTE]
