[QUOTE="cangrejoide, post: 4318866, member: 62237"] But being #36 is good hard factual data of how well it is selling. This is an indicator that it is doing good, and those that like 4E rejoice in the notion that their game line is doing good. A game line doing good means more support and extra goodies. And its also a good counter argument against '1 star' ratings, it just goes to show you that the actual review isn't as honest as it should be. IMHO a game that sells so well should not get 50% '1 star' reviews. Yeah we all play different games and it may come as a shock to you but I have played and mostly GMed some of those you mentioned plus a lot more RPgs you didn't mention. But if I understand what you are saying: people are free to play whatever they want? I agree, and someone with an axe to bury should not put a '1star' or a '5 star' review just out of geek fandom. Reviews are there to help people decide if the game is good or not and maybe help the make the desicion to buy it. By your 'data', you should now know how good 4E has done in sales. By staying above #40 spot for a month now. Thats #40 spot out of millions. You are right ENworld is mostly a d20/D&D board, it has been since its start. If you want to discuss other RPGS more broadly you should try [url]www.rpg.net[/url] or therpgsite.net or any of the 100s other RPG boards in the intratubes. Just because 4E is out doesn't mean your 3.X books will self inmolate. You can still play whatever you want ( like you said earlier). Like everything in life, 'Popularity' is major deciding factor on what stays in the market or not ( remember Beta? Remember the Dreamcast?). Okay I am sorry I have not idea what you said in those last paragraphs. But go on and have fun playing Witch Hunter, and post a play review of your game. Who knows? You may even sell the game to some more people. [/QUOTE]
