[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5431342, member: 82106"] Yeah, I don't get all the breast beating about game companies and schedules and all. I buy what I like to play, just like I eat the food that I prefer too. I like 4e. WotC took a fairly bold step by breaking with past editions of D&D somewhat. The result is a better game in a lot of ways. Not as polished in some respects, but it is fun and meets my needs. PF is warmed over 3.5. That's OK, but Paizo isn't going to break any new ground with that, they're not offering me a new gaming experience. They're offering me a somewhat more polished version of the same old thing. I think THAT is what you get when you let the fans of the existing game essentially design the new game, you're stuck forever in the same spot. In any case 4e has tons of stuff for me to use, it isn't going away anytime soon. Even if WotC pulled back to a very low level of support the game is there, it is the game I want to play, and so I'll just keep playing it. As far as giving my money to Paizo as some kind of reward. I don't want to reward them particularly. I don't buy things to reward people anyway. Even if I did, what am I rewarding them for? Sticking to an old formula and an old system? Now, if they had a game as good as 4e AND they had the nicer adventure products and more interesting artwork, maybe I'd want to with it, I don't know. I just don't see the Paizo formula ever winding up creating a better rules system than 4e. [/QUOTE]
