You know, if this was just about bad management and the company going under for normal reasons, I might agree. Lots of game companies go under, that's life.

But to me this is different, because what dealt the near-death blow was a betrayal of trust, and embezzelment. That's just not right.

RPGs have never been a lucrative business. Most companies are lucky to make a profit and even if you prosper you're probably never going to be rich. You don't publish RPGs to beomce rich, you do it because you love the game.

For that reason alone, I think they deserve the help of the fans past and present. If this was a movie, it should be the part where everyone puts aside their differences and grudges and stands together to help a common cause.
