I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about leaving the house this morning. I'm a firm believer in the theory that "one good turn deserves a boot in the groin" and as such was a bit worried about getting hit by a bus on the way to work this morning given yesterday's windfall. :lol:
I'm still smiling though. Hehe...
As well:
| Quote (Dwarf Supreme @ 26 2005 Aug.,09:01) | Oh yeah and that comment, "miniatures for that dungeons and dragons game my son no longer plays now that he's grown up", I think I've been insulted.  I still play D&D, does that mean I'm not grown up or that I shouldn't be playing it since I am grown up? |
At the risk of totally incriminating myself here as to the level of "Nrrd prestige class" I have... just before I quit my sales and purchasing job and got out of "the game industry" for good in 2000 I actually had a couple of interviews with Wizard's of the Coast for the "Tabletop Games Business Manager" position.
In other words I would have been the manager responsible for setting price point, print run quantities yatta yatta yatta for all WotC's 3rd Ed D&D products.
The part that killed it was they didn't want the trouble of trying to bring a Canadian across the border. And, in total hindsight, given the staff turnover level the company has had since it was acquired by Hasbro I was probably lucky it worked out that way.
So... next time I throw a little frothing post at GW's latest financial "explanations" thats the why and wherefore of it.
