Hasbro, Cobiça e D&D 4e

Estou lendo obscuros fóruns e digo que a Hasbro tem um dedo gordo no lançamento inesperado da quarta edição. A empresa parece que não tem só essa má-fama no Magic, como também em outras áreas. Dizem que a Hasbro está forçando (no Magic) a WotC a liberar material mais cedo, fazendo assim com que sejam de qualidade inferior, então não duvidem nada de haver uma pressão para lançar mais material e, segundo o pensamento de executivos, vender mais.

"With a TCG like Magic, it's one thing - cards rotate in and out of tournament format, so the base set can be updated every few years to bring out-bound cards back into Standard. The cards don't change, so the previous edition of cards still work just fine alongside the new. Not so much when they're changing an RPG that is not used in tournament format (RPGA aside, since the RPGA campaigns will either end (as it's been stated that converting from 3.5 will be "too much work to be worth it" and there will apparently be no conversion guides outside of the next few releases) or be continued in 3.5 and no longer be sanctioned by WotC.) and making the old rules incompatible with the new material.

This 4E change, notably, also affects the D&D Miniatures game and its tournament circuit. They'll only be updating the cards for the most recent expansion sets, meaning that older figures that were still tournament legal will not be given stat cards that function with the new rules. I'm smelling a rerelease of old miniatures before too long, because once again - people will buy them out of blind corporate loyalty."

'As of eight months ago, the official word was: "We are not working on 4E."

As of now, the official word is: "We've been working on 4E for the last two and a half years." and "We are not working on 4.5 E."'

Lá da EN World.

Parece que a Wizards não tem mais a confiança do próprio mercado principal deles hein... Já teve o golpe do D&D 3.5 e do 3.75... Espero que dessa vez as pessoas aprendam e deixem a bomba estourar na mão dos culpados.
