[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5344841, member: 2067"] Hooray! Hooray! Hooray for everybody! Especially hooray for Pathfinder: the only game to challenge D&D's dominance since Vampire The Masquerade! Competition is brilliant. It gives us better everything. If Paizo could sit on their rumps making 3.5 splatbooks forever, it would suck more. If WotC could churn out collectable online boardgame experiments (or whatever) without having a solid core publication arm, it would suck more. If White Wolf could continue to market 90's [I]The Crow[/I] wangst like it was...well, still the '90's....it would suck more. If FFG could milk plastic for all it was worth, it would suck more. Instead, they all need to step up their game if they hope to compete with each other. Paizo needs to make a good game. WotC needs to make a good game. Everyone needs to make a good game. Which means that we, the consumers, [I]win hard[/I]. This still doesn't "settle" anything about any one game over any other, and it doesn't need to be attacked as misinformation (ICv2 has pretty reputable numbers; it's for the industry itself, after all). It's another datapoint. It's really good news for any 4e player, and for any Pathfinder fan. Because both games will have to make themselves better. Now that it's a dead heat for first place, the race gets exciting. Both companies are going to be spurred on to make some of their best products now. We're going to see greatness about this time next year, I bet. :) [/QUOTE]
