[QUOTE="Cruentus, post: 8950877, member: 7034645"] But this, and as [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] points out, we are going to most likely see a continuation with variation of 5e. 5e is the largest RPG in the world, makes the most money, now has a movie coming out, etc., any company that wants to make money will be "5e adjacent". People flocked to Pathfinder because of 4e. People left Pathfinder because of 5e, and sure, there're seeing a bump in sales, but I'll bet its not sustainable. People know DnD, know 5e, and that'll be the way for the forseeable future. Would it be great of people made new and interesting games with wide pick up? Absolutely. Will it happen? Unlikely. As a former Games Workshop player/consumer, if I had a nickel for every time any number of new companies/games "were going to eat GW's lunch", and discussion about "GW going to go bankrupt", I'd be comfortably retired. But GW, and WOTC, make money hand over fist. Its comfortable, its reliable, and as new players come on board, they're not going for the niche (nichier?) offering, they're going for the main game with all the books, maps, miniatures, pre painted miniatures, movie, tchotchkes, etc. where they can find a game simply.
