[QUOTE="SensoryThought, post: 5934004, member: 6687996"] While I don't agree that POD reprints are the best or even a likely solution to WOTC problems, I think a number of problems were correctly identified. File sharing and edition fragmentation are big issues. I know WOTC hope the new edition will "unite the fanbase" the history of gaming would say otherwise. Both 3e/PF and 4e have their die hard supporters which to my mind implies different people game in different ways. File sharing is a bigger issue with the modern age, and to my mind good service content is the way to make money. I have only a handful of 4e books but I pay money every month to DDI. The last issue I see is the general contracting of the tabletop RPG hobby to computer, collectable trading card games, etc. as mention by Ryan Dancey. TL;DR while the blogger might not have the right answers, D&D faces some major problems, even if 5e is the best D&D Ed ever released. [/QUOTE]
