I think iterating the version every few years is a bad idea, my opinion.Paizo is trying it with subscriptions and adventure paths. I think WotC originally pre-hasbro was trying to do it but with D&D as a kind of loss leader, like they were trying to slowly grow the hobby and write it off as an expense that would pay dividends some other way.I think WotC now is going to try something similar, but with movies and toys and tv (maybe movie and tv) and boardgames and novels and video games and other branded products. I think a big part of that is also continuing to sell older edition things if people are still buying them. For instance I think the new encounters seasons are still going to support 4e and 3.5 for the foreseeable future.RPG's are not video games with limited play and advancing technology to keep up with. They are a lifestyle investment that could support other iterative games and products.</blockquote>
