The thing, is, do the GAMERS have to change their attitude?
I dislike the nazi attitude of some basement-dwelling, <beep> internet heroes as much as any sane person, but I have to say: Wizbro is trying to sell me product, nothing more.
If they want me to like it, it's their effort to do.
If you don't mind me giving my daily morning rant, I'll go on and say that I tremendously dislike this kind of marketing that seems very particular to the US market:
If a product is part of an established brand, the parent company is very prone to tell their customers that not their product has to improve, but the CUSTOMERS.
So done, for example, the new, horridly bad Iphone 4s. Fable III. The Playstation Network. Any movie Martin Scorsese has done since "Raging Bull". Blue Mountain Dew. Starbuck's toasted cookies. Brock Lesnar. And any book that ridiculously hot Mormon chick with the sparkle fetish has written.
And, so done, with 4e. Anybody trying to contradict me, buy that adventure path Wizbro put out. Try to run it BTB. And then point to any book on the market that you think delivers better. Should be a few.
Like, to quote a wise man who schooled me on political correctness: 3e was "different". 4e was "special".
