[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 7647701, member: 59057"] I hope, that the information you withheld are what I believe them to be... i just believe, RPGs are not going to die. Maybe they are having a hard time now. Maybe D&D 4e is less profitable than it should be (I doubt, that it is producing losses). Ironically it was baldur´s gate, a compter game, that brought a lot of people to the hobby... maybe we see a new game that does so. The most interesting thing in the escapist article was the fact, that D&D computer game license is now in wizards hands... lets see, how they are using it! I also see the same issue with 4e as Klaus: localisation failed totally. Where I got 3rd edition stuff here in germany everywhere, I find none for 4e. And the game is written in a way, that it hardly translates. I honestly don´t believe, that pathfinder is the future. Right now I see it as a possibility for people to play their old favourite. Ready to be dropped, when 5e hits the shelves. Maybe this won´t happen, because 5e is crappy. Maybe it will happen, because it is a lot better than 3e and 4e put together. [/QUOTE]
