>>Possibly - but you can't assign altruistic motives to WotC - the TSR
purchase was just part of the standard Hasbro plan of consolidation<<

   Except WotC wasn't a part of Hasbro at the time it started purchasing
companies. 

>>A marketing strategy that seems quite similar to the marketing strategy
of Microsoft. <<

   Except Microsoft doesn't share its toys. 

>>Can you actually see at any mechanic in 3rd ed and say that you haven't
seen it in another game somewhere?<<

  Allan, I can say the same thing about Deadlands. Wouldn't go around
pointin' fingers.
