[QUOTE="variant, post: 5929862, member: 41293"] Another person who acts like they know what they are talking about and actually doesn't. Wizards is not a small publishing company that can suffice on small profit, they need large profit and business growth or Hasbro will just shut them down and liquidate their assets or just shut down the pen and paper division if that is holding back the company. If you have every edition of D&D available, Wizards would just then be competing with themselves which is bad business sense and why TSR went under as they fractured their userbase with every new campaign setting they supported, releasing new books regardless of sales. A book needs high sales to make up for the cost of development and when you dividing your are base, your sales will drop. The "new system" business is the most profitable because the highest selling books are the core rulebooks. Most people don't buy supplementary material and a business can't survive on them. [/QUOTE]
