Trying to regain the lost market now would be more likely to split that market further.Not just a matter of folks rooting for the underdog - WotC had a great deal of goodwill that they squandered in the time leading up to the 4e announcement, and in both the rollout of the product and in the product itself.If Paizo tried to change Pathfinder as drastically as WotC changed D&D then I think that they too would suffer the loss of their wider audience. While Paizo could make such a boneheaded decision I very much doubt that they will.Not quite the same as saying that 4e is a bad system, merely that it did not appeal to as broad an audience as WotC might, perhaps, have hoped. A lot of those folks who left will not be coming back, I know that I won't be. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /> Changing back to something closer to 3.X would lose WotC a portion of their 4e audience, but would be unlikely to recapture that same number of folks who prefer the 3.X architecture.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
