Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bleoberis De Ganis" data-source="post: 4743455" data-attributes="member: 77687">They believe the lack of sales of Player's Handbook 2 is through piracy, but it has been said everywhere that people are either not taking up 4E and many who did have got bored and gone elsewhere, so I think this is more likely a reason. 3rd edition has sooo many pirated copies all over the internet if you put a search in google for legitimate sites (if any of those exist anymore on account of WOTC closing one a second) you will get torrent site links popping up as well with pdfs on them, and 3rd edition sold really well. It wasn't such a problem because people wanted them. They are getting upset about illegal 4E pdfs because their sales are doing badly. The two things are probably not related (not to the point it is worth spending money on lawyers.) I'll just state I love 4E and they have done a really excellent job in their design of a good many elements of the game. But instead of just fixing what was broken and introducing some fantastic new aspects they have, for some reason, thrown any logic out of the window, neglected any depth, and broken some other parts leaving the whole thing feeling hollow, shallow and implausible. I'm not a grognard, I love new rules and improvements. I'm the kind of person who can't wait for 5E, I'm just not so sure I want WOTC and Hasbro to be the ones making it and the way they are playing it I think my wish will come true. Perhaps the next company who gets it should not use an acronym. TSR, WOTC, coincedance? Actually it is isn't it. I'm just being silly.</blockquote>
