[QUOTE="sunshadow21, post: 6300218, member: 6667193"] It's not impossible that the multimedia aspect could work out this time, but it's going to require a sustained turnaround over the course of several successes to really see that aspect take off. No one single success is going to do it; they've had too many successes wither on the vine in the past for people to automatically write off the past on just one success. The other difficulty is that WotC cannot divert so much of the resources away from the tabletop game that if the multimedia aspect does fail they are left with nothing when the tabletop game dries up from lack of support. If they can find a way to support both aspects to the necessary level, they will do fine, but that's going to require a level of resources and consistent commitment that WotC has not shown for the brand to date. So not irrational, just very, very improbable. [/QUOTE]
