Yes I do. I play GURPS. So I really don't care what WotC or anyone else is doing.

To take a nice nearby example, how many dramatically missed deadlines have there been for T20 products?

Don't know, don't care. I play GURPS Traveller. Not MegaTraveller, not Traveller: The Viruscapades, not T4.01432, not T5, not T23, not BESD, not anything else. Not because those systems aren't any good (maybe they are, I don't konw) but because I play Gurps and Gurps Traveller. I don't get a lot of free time or free money. So I don't want to spend that free time trying to learn yet another game system, and I don't want to spend that free money buying all of the corebooks yet again for yet another game system.

So you're whole theory of: "Your criticism isn't valid because you're not applying it to the whole RPG world" makes no sense. If a man walks up to me and says; "You should call the fire department, your house is on fire." Do I say; "That's an unfair criticism of my house on your part because you didn't include the status of other houses around the world." No, I don't. What I do is call the fire department.

That wasn't my theory -- I was just saying that "It's the only company that screws up so often and completely" is incorrect.

Your criticism isn't valid because you don't understand the economics of RPGs, not because everyone screws up.

I'm going to continue to remain critical of any company that continues to not create a product and then becomes indignant when asked why.
