They decided to try and hit 50 million a year which adjusted for inflation BECMI and AD&D combined almost managed to do in 1983 (48 million). As of 2012 Paizo was getting 11.2 million per year, WoTC maybe 6-7 million in DDI subs+ whatever they are getting with reprints. So 4E maybe lost about 70%+ of 3.5 revenue stream with the largest % of that going to Paizo. If Paizo maintains their 30-35% annual growth rate into 2014 with no competition except for reprints from WoTC they will have close to 18 million in sales, DDI will make up 6-7 million whih means most of the D&D revenue stream will be accounted for. If that happens or close to it D&DN fate will come down to how many 3.x players they can win back or how many new people they can bring to the hobby. If Paizo has a bad couple of years and have their growth rate cut in half they will still have 15 million of so of that 25-30 million pie. WoTC seems to be trying a new recipe to bake a bigger pie.</blockquote>
