I try to check ENWorld every once in a while because the information here can be useful, but there are also times where I disappear for months on end because of either real-life things or because I get tired of seeing the same dead horses beaten into a bloody pulp (repeatedly).In short... My impression is that people speculate and talk about the politics and business of the game so much because it's honestly more interesting to them than the products that are being released. Even many ardent 4E supporters have found the latest releases either a) lackluster; or b) too few and far apart.It's also worth noting that some bridges have been burned between WotC and D&D fans. Whether by the players or the company, the net effect is the same. Cadres of disenfranchised players that enjoy classic versions of the game hold to a thin sliver of hope that WotC will eventually produce a game that they want to play again. Conversely, many 4E fans are less than thrilled with Dungeons & Dragons Insider (among other issues) and feel just as disenfranchised. So now we have a situation where the various factions of the edition war have found some common ground. I'm not terribly surprised that speculation and discussion of the business and politics surrounding the game has gotten to be a hot topic lately.</blockquote>
