Sorry to hear it, but as I have pointed out many a time online (and someone
else pointed out earlier today), we mailing list members must remember that
we likely don't represent the majority of PEG's, or Cyberwhoever's target
audience.  Ergo, each voice that reaches them is just that - one voice.

I think they're making a mistake, but it's not my company and they can do as
they like with it (unless some agreement they have with Shane says
otherwise).

Of course, if it turns out that these seemingly bad decisions end up putting
a serious dent in the production of this wonderful game, then we'll be fully
justified in wishing that the people at Cybergames had never been born.  At
present, this is not the case, though Shane's comments of late don't lend me
much in the way of optimism.

Right now I only wish the people at Cybergames would leave Deadlands alone.
I don't yet wish them out of existence.  <g>
