[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5799924, member: 7006"] Whether ANY game is "necessary" is entirely in the eyes of the beholder. I'm sure you would've found plenty of players of BECMI who asked whether AD&D was "necessary" when that got released. Hell, there's probably some 1E player NOW who still questions whether 2E, 3E & 4E were "necessary". But at the end of the day... [I]what does it matter[/I]? If you want to keep playing 3E... do so. If you enjoy 4E enough that the changes in 5E don't do anything for you... then stay with 4E. But I mean come on... with so much ranting that goes on about new editions, I get the feeling that some people take it as a [I]personal affront[/I] that the game they like gets moved on from by the company making it. As though WotC is saying to you "Hey 4E player... since we're now making a 5E, that implies that we don't like 4E anymore. And thus it also implies we don't like YOU either. You stink. See ya!" You'd think in this day and age our egos would have been hardened a bit more than that. Obviously, I don't really think that is the case. We're still fragile little kids who get all upset when we think something we like isn't fully embraced by everyone else. [/QUOTE]
