I think you’ll find that there has always been variation in the depth of the
texture on slope bricks, it’s just that the variation is now greater. I’ll
hazard a guess and say that TLG are using their molds for longer to save
money.
If you choose not to buy new sets then that’s obviously your choice but to act
as though smoother slopes is some sort of betrayal is a little worrying. As
for “they will not match all the hundreds of other textured slope bricks in my
collection” well I’m just going to say that you’re showing a distinct lack of
imagination.

Hey Tim,
I’ve always noted the change in the style of roof bricks, from the circular
pattern to the rougher bumpy style to the hopefully current
more-smooth-but-still-bumpy pattern. That never bothered me.
However, if it’s a fact that TLG is so desperate to save money that they’re
using molds beyond their ability to produce identical parts, then it seems
something is indeed rotten in Denmark! (Forgive me, William, I could not
resist!)
Did I say betrayal? I don’t think I did. Granted, it sometimes feels that way
given all the other changes recently, but even I would not personally ascribe
that much emotion to the situation. It saddens me more than a little, but
betrayal? No. You don’t know me, so why would you worry about my state of
mind? Furthermore, given that assessment on your part, it’s very petty to
indulge in flinging inflammatory and needless insults after you’ve just finished
accusing me of mental instability.
As for your last statement, well, I’m just going to say that I think you’re
showing a distinct overabundance of (fill in the expletive noun).
