I more find it so glaringly obvious that it does not warrant mention. It's no more newsworthy than the fact that they will be charging for their product.2e replaced 1e. 3e replaced 2e. 4e and Pathfinder ganged up and replaced 3e. 5e will replace 4e and may or may not replace Pathfinder, though I'd expect WotC to hope so. I played 1e and though 2e changed too much, so I continued with 1e and cribbed what I could from 2e. I certainly didn't get mad at TSR for "abandoning" me. Eventually, I did get over my issues with 2e and played all the subsequent editions.It turns out neither 3e or 4e were "for me". I can't imagine being angry with WotC over it, though. Mock them, maybe, but it's not like the game rules are software that won't run on a new operating system.From a selfish perspective, I don't play Pathfinder, 3e, or 4e. I actively want 5e to sink all those games and steal their players. Why? More people to subsidize the products I want to buy. Pretty simple, really. I don't want those people to lose out on having fun, though. I want 5e to be fun for them, also. I'm just not going to shed any more tears for them than I'd expect the 4e fan to shed for me over AD&D, if it doesn't. Those games still work fine.</blockquote>
