Unsurprised ( is there a "Normal" condition? ).
All of the signs were there:
Licenses revoked
Dragon and Dungeon canceled
Release schedule thin
Scott R's thread on fluff suggestions ( Which I read to mean "what books we would still buy even though we know 4e is coming? ")
Keith Baker posting on said thread with ideas for Eb books he knows haven't been approved/started
The funniest was even when WoTC posted a huge banner on their site with "4's" everywhere, people still were in denial, throwing out wildly implausible theories...
Things move on. Personally, I would be happy with a less complicated game where combat doesn't take an hour at higher levels, with actual working software tools that easily allow me to create customized baddies. A PC generator is nice, but I really need a monster generator comparatively more.
That said, I'll probably be a late adopter based on my feelings of being bitten by 3.5, and my less than regular gaming schedule.
