I mean, come on--money is money and WotC is a business. They want your money just like they want mine. They may have concluded that they aren't willing or able to do what's necessary to get your money, but if tomorrow someone at WotC came up with a brilliant new idea to produce a game that would appeal to Pathfinder fans, 4E fans, and retro-gamers alike, they'd do it.(That said, there have been a couple of boneheaded decisions by WotC, like the whole .PDF fiasco, that could reasonably be viewed as a rejection. Personally, I think that .PDF thing was just an executive-level outbreak of the "The Dread Pirate Fileshare is here for your souls!" insanity. If it can lead a company like Sony to think putting malware on its CDs is a good idea, unilaterally terminating .PDF sales is positively benign.)And then you have guys like me who want 5E to continue the 4E trend in some areas, reverse it in others, and adopt some ideas entirely orthogonal to the old-school/new-school axis.Not everyone believes in One Edition To Rule Them All. There's a reason my new status is "edition war mercenary."</blockquote>
