I mean you'll certainly be able to get 4e stuff for quite some time, probably be out there on Amazon or whatever in 20 years still. Heck, I can buy a mint 1e PHB still pretty easily. It isn't the books that matter, it is the support, the community playing a 'living' edition of the game, DDI, etc. That stuff isn't going to die for a year or two yet, but I'll predict now there are going to be few and far between 4e groups out there playing it in a couple years. There's always one in every group that is down on the whole notion. I don't have problems getting players now when at least people will sit down to play the latest edition, but that's likely to change pretty fast. There will be the 4e die-hards, like with any other edition, but I think they're going to be a pretty small crew and given that there was basically no support outside of WotC when the game WAS the latest and greatest I have to believe there will be basically a vast desert of nothing in 2 years except some obscure "4e grognard" site somewhere with a few bad adventures on it, if that.</blockquote>
