It's the major activity of most developed nations. It's not like gamers are somehow "special" or "pavlovian" in this respect.*shrug*Me, I don't care. I buy something here or there and otherwise I ignore it. I couldn't care less if WotC, Paizo, or anyone else is making money or not. They make money off my hobby and therefore they're beholden to my dollar. If they don't want it (by putting out product I'm not interested in), they don't get it.Other folks have their reasons for buyin' stuff, it's mostly different than mine. If it bothers you, become a "considered consumer"; figure out exactly what you're buying and why. And then realize that other folks just aren't going to subscribe to your approach.At the end of the day, it's their money. WotC caters to the folks spending money, so if it's a substandard product and lots of people buy it, they've only themselves to blame when more substandard product is put out. And if it's awesome, then more people will buy it and WotC will put out more awesome product.It will only ever be an issue if A) Some person tries to insist that _you_ have to buy and/or use the product and B) If you actually let that person influence you.Otherwise... who cares?</blockquote>
