There are three cases:1) WotC retain Asmodeus as a god in the core rules. I don't buy 4e, or anything associated with it.2) WotC change their minds about Asmodeus being a god. I buy the 4e core rules, and find them not to my taste, and so stick with 3.5.3) WotC change their minds about Asmodeus being a god. I buy the 4e core rules, find them an improvement over the current edition, and so switch over.At the moment, #1 looks like the most likely outcome. Based on what we've heard so far, #2 looks to be the next most likely, although there have been a number of things that have struck me as genuine and significant improvements.If I switch over, I won't have any interest in anything produced for the old edition. If I don't, I won't have any interest in anything produced for the new edition.Agreed. At the moment, Paizo are consistently producing the best support material for 3.5e D&D, so if WotC lost them that would seem to be a blow.And, unless 4e is a total flop, I don't see it being financially viable to continue supporting 3.5e. Either the vast majority players will switch over, or the market will be split. In the latter case, it may well not be viable for any third party company to support any edition of the game. But I certainly don't expect 4e to flop.However, if I don't switch, and if Paizo find themselves unable to use 4e for their third Pathfinder path, and if they find that it remains viable to continue to support 3.5, then that would suit me ideally. I really don't see it happening, though.I was actually hoping they would do more or less what they're doing. Some of the flaws with the existing game (multiclass spellcasters, level adjustment...) are such that the engine does need stripped and rebuilt to really implement fixes. Unfortunately, they haven't done it the way I would have done it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
