He's just cashing the checks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I think my main question is wondering if it's a good buisness move to every so many years discontinue support (somewhat abruptly) for something that has a lot of fans with the hope that they'll like where you're going, even though there will be some that get angry and right or wrong consider themselves "forgotten." (And these fans tend to be gamers for life and willing to hold a grudge...)Will the buildup of these "forgotten" fans eventually create an overload?That's I think the reason I'm wondering if continuing to support the old editions wouldn't be a better way. Even if that support is continuing to keep the core books for each edition in print, some articles in the DDI, and maybe some of the "big name" books/setting material?</blockquote>
