[QUOTE="Miar, post: 4105080, member: 53348"] I agree which is why I said it may not be the best marketing decision. My comments were directed at those just lamenting the burning of books in and of itself. I also don't really think they thought of it as lets shred 2,500 copies of the PH. That's not going to make any really difference in the number of PHs around, just remove most of them from dusty bookshelves where there not going to be used. Those players that would be interested in this are not interested in 3.5 anymore. Many other players who are moving to 4E will also not be interested in them anymore. There are probably going to be a lot of used copies floating around. I'm sure they thought of it as a neat marketing gimick, one that would only attract people who had a real interest in Exalted. Shipping would probably have been a deal breaker for it so they went with a common practice in the book industry. It looks bad but I don't think it was intentional (there is nothing to gain, these people probably grew up on D&D and doubtful don't hate it enough to jump up and down on piles of burning PHs) just bad marketing.
