Re: Are WotC's recent actions Unethical?
Unethical? No what they have done is certainly not unethical. The only thing I have issues with is how the game was handled up to this point(nonexistent advertising ect.), which is stupidity. Am I happy about what they have done? No, but I'm not going to comment ignorantly just because it sucks.

Or if a company perceives that a product line has run its course, it may prompt a change even in the face of fantastic profit. Or if the short term success of a product line threatens to undermine the long term success of the company or one of their core brands. Or if the company's resources where stretched so thin that they had to make a decision on which product they will continue to support. (You dance with the one that brought you and Scape did not bring about WotC) I could go on but there are many reasons a company might discontinue a profitable product line. 6 years, 4 master sets, 13 waves, 4 terrain expansions....It all tells me that some significant money was made at some point. GB, you know far more than I regarding WotC but I have to believe there was more that went into their decision than just the profit margins. Last edited by R˙chean; November 20th, 2010 at 12:22 PM.

I want to point out when I say WotC I really do mean both companies also. Really they both are or are not unethical about this. On a side note about GW. I just received a phone call from them a few days ago. I was really glad for the call. They were trying to help me out with my new business. I'm not totally sure how the guy got word about my business but I'm glad he did. We are working out a deal to get GW products in my store directly from them. They are even providing materials for free to help promote and display the games. The only thing they required of me was that I would be able to provide demo's of the game. Of course that is one of the main points of my business. I want to be able to provide a demo of everything that the store sells, even if it isn't the exact game but a version of it. I was a bit weary of doing business with GW because of the things I had heard from other people. My personal business with them has been all positive so far though. |

Oh, and I agree that it is unethical, but I feel that ethics were present until they announcement was made. WotC that us fans were loved the game to no end. D3 has had the most screw-ups out of any wave I've seen yet. 1) WotC has been a pain in the butt when it comes to fixing the D3 problems (so it seems.) 2) WotC put D&D advertisements (the core brand that is too important for them to keep working with HS) in every single booster in D3. WotC: "We're not gonna help you. Buy our other stuff." That my friends, in unethical. |

Since I've never had the misfortune of opening a box and finding an error, I don't have any personal experience in fixing the problem, but based upon my previous encounter, I find it hard to believe that WotC would be so deliberately unhelpful in fixing their mistakes. I'm not saying that I'll be happy about the recent weeks' events any time soon, but some of these accounts leave me scratching my head, and I'd be genuinely surprised to have such an encounter myself. WORST. PALADIN. EVER. Overall Tourney Record: ....I don't even remember anymore! |

It's not like they were rude *coughcoughapplecough*, but it kind of irritated me that they offered me their other brand as if it could replace what I lacked. |

Re: Are WotC's recent actions Unethical?
The way I see it is that like it or not, and I don't like it, but Heroscape is their's. They own it, and they can do what they want with it. They might upset us in the process, but that's their right to do so. Plain and simple, they own it, and they can choose to keep or sell it. There's nothing unethical about holding on to what's yours.
