This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Maybe doing it the nice way fucked them somehow, and now they have to lawyer it.

This is why we need nanites to infest Hasborg and then take it down piece by piece. :P

Not to be a party-pooper, but is there anything Joe wants to talk about that isn't ENworld or WotC related?

We all have our windmills...

Plus, it's fun being the anti-WOTC guy.  I'll never stop pointing out their corporate blunders.

In this case though I'm sorta with ENWorld.  I actually said something good about their mods above.

BTW, you have read my sig about stirring the shit, right?

I am of the firm belief that angry internet people don't matter anywhere near how much they believe they do, and that catering to angry internet people often causes more problems than it solves.

Sure, it's just the wrong shit, that's all.

And I'm a firm believer that public at large is ignorant, that big business is more evil than war, and mostly that my Paladin of Asmodeus will continue to stir shit for a LONG time. :P

Less time protecting stuff, and more time producing good stuff, would perhaps be more useful for their bottom line.

Some companies with their IP remind me of landlords who will never repair or sell their condemned properties but just occasionally send a security guard around to scare off squatters.

Such a waste.
