If they want to expand they will have to ditch 3.5 at some point and come out with an improved system. But, in their current model, that will mean that they'll lose people that think 3.5 was Gygax's Dream System Which None Could Supplant.So they either survive with the market they have, and never expand and slowly dwindle, or they anger some of the more radical aspects of their customers.Are they? A single person in my group has the Rise of the Runelords books. That's it. The rest he wings, and we toss suggestions at him from people that are freely translating it. That's not a good investment for Paizo; if they had player guide for 4E I'd buy it, and if they had a 4E setting I'd buy it, but they've got zero money from me when they could easily have more if they'd just annoy a couple angry nerds and go cross-system with very little effort. Most of their stuff is just straight fluff and 4E design is far easier than 3E, what with CR being the mess of broken it's always been.  Here's the thing; 3.X was not going strong. If it had been going strong, 4E wouldn't have been considered. People were playing 3.X, to be sure, but it had run its little splatbooky course. People weren't interested in further splatbooks and, moreso, the OGL had led to things like the BoEF and Black Tokyo, things WotC very understandably did not want associated with D&D.Oh and please provide actual numbers that PF is the best-selling RPG on the market or stop claiming that, thanks in advance.You're under the very, very silly assumption that Hasbro concerns itself with WotC dealings. WotC very likely gets a carte blanche. They've got M:tG, anything else they do is icing on the delicious money cake. Hasbro likely won't get involved because WotC is a couple percentage points, at best, of their actual earnings and they have much bigger fish to fry.As much as Seelah is a huge badass and awesome, her boobplate is just stupid. Yeah, she's a chick, awesome, she doesn't need her boobs outlined by full plate.</blockquote>
