The great thing about life is this: we can all have different opinions,
and it still won't amount to a hill of beans.
I personally believe that saying that people made other game systems simply
because TSR might sue them doesn't hold much weight. It's human nature to
think you can do something better than the other guy, and I think that
plenty of publishers have thrived by doing something unique and capturing
everyone's attention (and sales).
Vanilla might be a good flavor, but if it was all we had, ice cream would
be boring.
