Woo-hoo?Essentials is also more or less a success. I don't see how it can be confusing. Its for store owners to always have in stock. That's about it. It includes some more simple classes for simpler players and some classic classes to try and get the more reasonable grognards to take a look. Its not rocket science. Furthermore I am confused as to why you being unable to tell who the company wanted to market a product too makes it a failure worthy of bankruptcy/selling the franchise. How does one reach this conclusion from the premises? I am once again underwhelmed by your accusations.Finally is DDI. I assume that you meant the character builder, since that's the only place that they really have messed up... for all of a month. Its more or less fine now. I haven't had a problem since day two. Its slow and clunky, but then so was the old one. Furthermore, I can't complain since I, as a Mac user, now get personal access to a product I have been paying for for two years. Also, the oft under-appreciated Compendium has actually gotten upgrade and I can tell you that it's current form is way better than the previous one. You can also talk about the quality of the magazine, but its been decline for a while, and honestly its not horrible, merely a lot more hit or miss from its glory days of Revenants and Rust Monster Nightmares. Furthermore I take great offense to describing releasing a product a month to early in its development as "a worse disaster of implementation is hard to imagine." Really, you can't think of something worse? I can imagine a whole hell of a lot worse implementations in a split second, and, being a student of history, can name a whole hell of a lot worse ones without having to imagine them. Mis-informed and ludicrously over the top, so that's three strikes and your out!!!Lets also not forget that Hasbro and even WotC itself are both so ludicrously rich that they can keep DnD alive as a pet project if they so wanted to. Barring the fact that the books and subscriptions are still selling, meaning this whole conversation is moot.So, another post of hyperbole, WotC hate, and petty vengeful doomsaying? Nothing to see here folks. Move along.</blockquote>
