Why doesn't New Coke outsell it? The company took away the version of Coke that customers enjoyed and forced a new product on them. People don't mind being given new choices but they sure HATE having choice taken away!You claim that:'The "formula" for 3E is already out there and Accessible. Unlike Coke, our books don't go away when we use them'But our ability to buy new products has been taken away. We can no longer buy PDF's of D&D material in ANY form. If WotC could rescind the OGL they would so to cut off the last source of possible new or existing 3rd party material. Every action WotC has taken since announcing 4e has been to create a monopoly for D&D so that anyone who buys D&D MUST buy 4E. The only other choice is to go to a different game altogether.I think it would be wonderful if WotC would sell ALL versions of D&D. They could bring back the PDF's and actually print small runs of the core books of all editions. That way customers could buy whatever version of D&D THEY want to play. Then we could see if more people prefer New D&D or D&D Classic.</blockquote>
