Wizards of the Coasts: Did HeroScape fail WotC or did WotC fail HeroScape?

Wizards of the Coast is a well-known brand among various card games and miniatures games. They were also the ones who got HeroScape from Hasbro(though Hasbro never lost the IP). Well quite recently, WotC decided to cancel the line for HeroScape. Although Wave 13 was still be released on November 16, after that HeroScape will cease production. There are a few vague rumors that another company could take HeroScape, but the companies in question are still in discussion with WotC.

So how about we take a short look over who was the real failure?

HeroScape alleged values:
Pre-Painted Figures
Easy Gameplay
Great Terrain

Wizards of the Coast alleged values:
The release of the Special Wave 10
Using unreleased figures in Wave 13
Using transluscent figures in Wave 11
HeroScape alleged failures:
Declining economy jacks prices up up and away!!
Pre-painted Figures costs lotsa $$

Wizards of the Coast alleged failures:
Pitiful Marketing
Pay More for plastic
Messing up Wave 13 by giving Markers to the incorrect pack
Shoddy Wave 11 quality control
Announcing cancelation just days before Wave 13 was released.

There are several routes the heroscapers community is taking to get HeroScape back in to production however.
Petitions and the like have been heavily employed simply for this matter.
And a short video created by ChardarStudios. Enjoy!

Now that is behind us, how about we look at HeroScape: Then and Now?

Then: 4 types of terrain, but only one actually did anything!
Now: More terrain that does nothing, but at least some of it actually does something.
Then: A certain Kyrie could have been ignored altogether.
Now: "Open fire on that b****!!"
Then: Only 2 of the abilities were practically useless having almost no effect on the game.
Now: I can't even count how many unwanted powers there are.
Then: Trying to figure out how to make a volcano from stone and water tiles.
Now: Trying to buy Volcanic Terrain Sets for >$100 each.
Then: Found out you can only use a single of each Unique after you already bought another Rise of the Valkyrie.
Now: Have enough Tarn Viking Warrior squads to repaint each one to match all the NFL teams.
Then: "Crap, what I do with that 1 absolutely needed grass tile?"
Now: "Hon, grab me a grass tile." *Wife proceeds to closet and a whole flood of HeroScape terrain floods out onto her.*

Let's Go Packers!!

Game of the day!! Actually there's 2 of them, but you don't have to play both.
1. Who do you personally think messed up, WotC or HeroScape?
2. My Sentret pulled a critical hit out on a shiny Zubat the other day killing it rather than weakening it...
Should I:
A) Rename it something profane and vulger?
B) Get rid of it a la trading it to a game with a corrupt memory?
C) Let it get K.O.'d by every trainer from here on out? Including the low level ones?
D) Other (post your suggestion)

No preview today, I don't know what I feel like doing next. Perhaps I'll talk about some customs that are in the works...
Due to some recent problems I've been having on Scapers, please email me if you notice a problem at all at michael.groves.93@gmail.com. Thanks and see you next time!!
