We all know that a product can continue to generate a positive net for decades without major changes. Therefore, the idea that new editions are not inevitable is not unreasonable. That Wizards is a for-profit organization is not a refutation of that idea.Yes, they have the right to do with it as they wish. Yes, there may be good reasons to do as they are. Yes, they may indeed know better than us what the best thing to do is. (Or not.) But "for profit" does not refute the suggestion that a new editions are not inevitable.Actually, that's a very good question. I've known gamers who are always keeping up with what's happening, whether it's compulsively buying everything or just keeping tabs & judiciously moving their own games forward so as not too be very far out-of-date.I also know gamers who are the types who could still not know there was a 3e even though 4e is on the way. Not only were they not sitting there waiting to participate in crashing the Wizards site with us, they probably have never seen the Wizards web site. They're content to just chug along with the games they have. They may be interested in new stuff, but someone has to very actively tell them about it or they won't ever know.I'm not sure that I can say for sure that one group is bigger than the other.</blockquote>
