Actually it's not well-founded at all, don't be silly.Your concern may be well founded.
Wrong. Flat out 100% wrong. It's absurd to act like they'd deliberatly alienate a bunch of people who would otherwise pay them a monthly subscription fee in exchange for leaving a bunch of data on their server. Your scenario is typical wotc-bashing garbage.WotC won't want 4e grognards to badmouth and cut into 5e sales the way 3.5/Pathfinder did to 4e. Before there's a 5e - maybe a decade or more before (see above) - the plug will be well and truely pulled on 4e. It'll go out of print, it will not be liscenced out to third parties to support, and the digital tools will be taken down.
There may not be a 5e in a convetional sense, but if there is, their tools are clearly set up to allow people to keep paying them to play 4e for a very long time. This, of course, will also reduce any backlash against 5e, as well it should- although few people will give them credit for it, least of all the kind of people who judge that scenario likely.
All their recent language has been pointing in this direction, as well.
I also don't think it's very plausible that hasbro will pull the plug.
