The exact words don't matter. It's non-committal garbage. 5e is full of it.<br /><br />I have hated the "company" since I began playing in 1979. So I am perfectly happy to shit on the whole crowd.<br /><br />Every person who reads this blog and contributes to my Patreon is looking for their own gear. I don't give a flying fuck what the majority are looking for.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-40338548536274762422019-03-20T01:50:20.094-06:002019-03-20T01:50:20.094-06:00I'll bite: I think you're adding something...I'll bite: I think you're adding something here. "The company" never says "you do you" - that's all third party. Their model is entirely standardization based, sinxe it sells the best. Nor are they the first: their predecessor pushed to standardize the moment they realized how profitable it was, and crushed all of the competitors attempting to offer different ways. The company did offer to some people - the OSR crowd - through certain mouthpieces, that you had more freedom. But that's not what 90% of the customers are seeing, nor the ones who actually make the big money (those being the whales who put out for each new release). As it stands I don't need any of their trash in my tackle box, and inherited a much nicer rod; but I've seen the customers, and know that what they're looking for isn't their own gear - it's a day to day rental from the bait shop.Rosenritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708668233952612105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-91468273554752543422019-03-19T18:13:21.376-06:002019-03-19T18:13:21.376-06:00Well, I'm not buying the fish. I bought three ...Well, I'm not buying the fish. I bought three fish in 2014 because I hadn't bought any fish in more than 10 years and I was curious if their fish had gotten better than mine. Nope. I'll keep fishing for myself.Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163131298685381872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-53544780999825091762019-03-18T23:44:11.261-06:002019-03-18T23:44:11.261-06:00Par.Par.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-26471059797067117292019-03-18T23:32:40.595-06:002019-03-18T23:32:40.595-06:00No comments.
