[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5965861, member: 10479"] I voted "Mostly Confident" as I see them trying many things and not getting in a rut with things they don't think are working for them or their customer base. While they might not be able to actively support older editions of the game, I wouldn't be too quick to think they are going to drop the 4E sections of the DDI when they switch full force to 5E. I think they have learned their lessons from dropping PDFs and are showing some goodwill with 1E and 3.5E re-releases coming up. Also, they've done a great job making sure D&D is in the public eye with mainstream product placement and name dropping in television and magazines over the decade since WotC has owned the brand. They could do better with movies and video games but at least they keep trying. The board gaming efforts have been a real highlight! I think it is fair to say that when you set aside the hype and PR stumbles they make, and look primarily at what they have actually accomplished in a little over a decade, they've come a long, long way and put out a lot of really great products. They might not always go in the direction I would personally choose for D&D but they do it with great enthusiasm and proliferation. [/QUOTE]
