I don't see myself ever returning to
WOTC or D&D as a fan or customer so their future has no bearing on my own as a gamer.

I don't see Pathfinder trailing off. I think the Pazio / Pathfinder fans are just as fanatical and loyal as
4E fans. I know as long as I'm able to run games I'll keep supporting them.

The materials are still out there and available and can be cannibalized for Pathfinder.

I'm fine with this as I personally have enought
OGL based material to choke an entire corral of donkeys.
In a nutshell as long as I can find gamers who want to play Pathfinder or other games that I play I'll keep running and playing. When that stops, I walk away from the hobby.
And yet another word from our sponsors
