[QUOTE="Kevin Brennan, post: 3954185, member: 35183"] WotC could certainly survive indefinitely with no D&D sales--D&D is not their biggest income stream (I'm pretty sure Magic is significantly bigger). That said, I agree that there's no possibility of the launch being delayed. The marketing budget is in place, the printer time has been paid for, and they're not going to put it out late. The thing is, there's no way that this game is going to be terrible--I don't like a lot of the changes personally, but even if there are a lot of subtle problems that show up over the long term I'm sure the obvious issues will be fixed. It's going to be "good enough" to go out the door. You'd need a lot of people inside the company agreeing that the launch of 4e in June would be a complete disaster before WotC even THINKS about MAYBE delaying it. And that won't happen, because the staff at WotC seem to genuinely believe that 4e even now is a much better game than 3e. [/QUOTE]
