[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 6022535, member: 6688791"] Paizo became rather successful by playing it safe (for better or worse, depenidng on who you ask) and sticking to the 3rd edition philosophy while WotC was exploring new territory. WotC have decided yet again it is time to explore new ways, in the process trying to incorporate some of the old ways. The jury is out on what the actual result will be but they will no doubt attract players. Some will come from 3.X, Pathfinder, 4e, OSR games and a bunch of other games out there. The new direction will also turn off some players from WotC products. Some of those may stick to 4th edition. Others will swear off the company entirely like they did when 4th edition became a reality. These people may move to other games, other companies. So yeah. After Next's release, we will see how many people move around. And companies like Paizo will wait to see how many customers they lose and how many they gain in the process. And in turn eventually they may make some change in part inspired by what's currently on the market and what they think might be needed, which will in turn garner fans from other companies like WotC as well as anger existing customers who will go to other companies like WotC. And the world will keep on turning. [/QUOTE]
