not buying current books which hurts the profits of WOTC and Hasbro making it less likely that they will continue to publish D&D materials.
Tell someone who cares. You'd have to be an idiot to spend good money on products you don't like, purely out of loyalty to a company that has consistently shown no loyalty to its long-standing customers.
Nothing destroys diversity and creativity like a monopoly.
Are we fans of older versions of D&D hurting the hobby by our refusal to fall in love with, buy, and play the current edition of D&D?
Not at all. If anything, the distaste many feel towards 3e and the glimpses we've seen of 4e, has resulted in new heights of creativity and "sharing the love". Over and over again on various forums, I have seen people returning to the hobby, often because of this reaction and the resulting output of new work. And those people often talk of new people they have introduced to the hobby. If anything, our collective dislike of Hasbro's current D&D seems to be causing the hobby to grow and expand.
