[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5803696, member: 6688791"] I couldn't care less about support for past editions, including 4e. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure people who bought 4th edition didn't base their decision on what WotC was doing with 3rd edition either. I buy products (including games) based on what they have to offer me concretely as opposed to vague expectations. When 3rd edition came out, I took my time to find out what were all the changes by reading message boards. Then I bought a PHB. Then I liked it enough that I bought a core book set. That was it. I had 10 years of fun with it and didn't feel the need to get supplements. I couldn't care less about 3.5. I did not feel the need to upgrade. I looked at 4th edition and felt like it was a disaster. Had a chance to play a few sessions and it confirmed it wasn't for me. I don't feel I need Pathfinder "to keep my game alive" either. The ink in my 3.0 books didn't magically fade away and Pathfinder didn't add any value to that edition as far as I am concerned. I didn't feel "left out" or anything. My 3rd edition books didn't come with a warranty for eternal support, nor do I think it would make any business sense if they did. I still have tons of fun with basic, 1st and 3rd edition. I'm gonna base my decision on buying products strictly on what they have to offer. It's all about making wise consumer decisions and keeping your expectations realistic. Offer me great products and I'll be buying them. Don't and I won't. [/QUOTE]
