[QUOTE="Neuroglyph, post: 5975583, member: 85633"] Please check out my blog where I referenced bringing back support for ALL EDITIONS of D&D... I never suggested that I was only looking for support for 3.5 or 4E, but somehow the discussion trended that way. I find it strange that folks keep arguing that the content-provider business model is unprofitable, claiming that WotC can't make enough money doing it. First, WotC is more than just D&D... it has MtG and its boardgame lines to draw money on. So as other posters have pointed out: How much profit is enough? Point is, none of us have the hard data from WotC and Hasbro to be sure that the old model is a huge success over a new model. But considering how many 4E gamers will be alienated by D&D Next, how many AD&D, 2nd Ed, 3.5, and Paizo gamers will likely ignore it, isn't trying to unite the fanbase under one edition rather counter-intuitive to simply reaching out to all D&D fans with support and new products?
