[QUOTE="phadeout, post: 3739397, member: 25546"] Wow, it's been almost 2 years I think since I posted on this forum, I normally just browse, but I need to reply to this since no one has looked closer at this comment in relation to 4E and "going back". Let's try this example instead: In 2001-02, Chrysler/Dodge announced the "New Hemi", to be available in 2003. You know what happened after that? People said to themselves; "Hey, back in the late 60's early 70's, the Hemi was a legend... I -Forgot- all about that!?" By 2003, guess what, every 426 Hemi or even 392 Hemi big block car over Tripled in value if not more! I had a friend with a 1971 Hemi Cuda (most valued Hemi vehicle today), and he sold it in 1999 for about 25k. Right now in 2007 he could have sold it 100k or more! Why? Because people "all of a sudden" remembered. It wasn't coincidence. Now, you can make the argument about 4E. It is quite possible that there will be a surge of older gamers (not likely those that started with 3E, but those that played the older versions) to suddenly go "Yeah, I miss the old stuff, I miss the feel, I miss the arch-types and old campaign worlds." The Car analogy does work, quite well, you just have to use a better example of Old vs New. It won't effect everyone, but it's going to cause an effect for those people that have a "soft spot" for Classics. [/QUOTE]
