[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4424424, member: 54846"] So, newbie gamer walks into a gaming store. Goes to the RPG section, sees sitting on the shelf "D&D 3.5" and "D&D 4e". If new players are walking into the store, they are likely going to pick up the book their friends/potential gaming group are using. If they're new people, with no group all ready, which do you think he's going to pick up? The earlier edition? Like you say, they must have went to a new edition because "the earlier edition sucks". So regardless of if the books are on the shelves or not, the new gamer is going to go with the "most current" edition, correct? For that matter, even if older editions were in print, do you think they would make separate areas for 2e, 3e, and 4e, with all the splats? Many gaming stores reported drops in 3.5 sales after the 4e announcement; even if the books were in print, do you think gaming stores would want to sell older editions? And, I have to ask you a question, based on this quote: Why is it important to you what edition new people are playing? [/QUOTE]
