[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 5430045, member: 10738"] Wow, the OP is pretty much spot on for how I feel now. I've had a bit more pressure actually to move to Pathfinder; I have two regular groups, one which favors 4E and another which favors Pathfinder, so I effectively run both systems. I actually find this a bit tough; call it wiring if you will, but I rather prefer to have one ruleset to focus on in a genre at a time, and when the two are so similar in terminology and style yet so different in application it can be kind of maddening to juggle. Anyway, I decided to focus more on Pathfinder this year, and this absolute PR disaster that WotC initiated has left me feeling like I made the right choice. I'm also not an advocate of turning D&D in to a digital experience with lots of collectibe card support, so unless WotC announces something akin to what Neogrognard proposed at the D&D Experience later this month, I am having a hard time of seeing why I shouldn't just continue to offer my gaming dollars to Paizo first.....although like you, I too will still buy actual books for D&D that WotC does release, as I still enjoy them and frankly still would like to play D&D, even if it seems like WotC is ramping up a strategy opposed to my presence as a gamer who prefers that his RPGs come in dead tree editions.
