As well-regarded as that game is, it's a niche product and it's competing in many ways with True20 and other niche products in the shadow of D20, rightly or wrongly.And as for 4E causing people to abandon 3E to go back to 1E -- I think that's a bizarre notion at best. The handful of people who do that were likely to go back to 1E anyway. More likely is that people who wanted to stay with 3E will do so, using OGL and D20 materials to do so. I imagine there's going to be a fork created when 4E comes out, as third party publishers step up and happily offer alternatives to allow groups to continue playing 3E indefinitely, much like OSRIC allows people to keep chugging along with 1E.
