[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9228626, member: 63508"] 4e isn't old enough to retroclone. But my point is that once 4e ran out of easily sold material... out of the stuff the designers could easily port over... the sales dropped and WOTC killed it. And 4e was designed to be incremental. Imagine a 3e, 5e, or 2e that wasn't. You either burn through all the easy stuff like 4e or you slowwalk aspects the fandom wants and get ditched. You have to design an RPG to be incremental. You need a long timetable or schedule of what you are producing and have a plan in place for either rework revisions or digital errata. You can't just take any old edition of a RPG and expect to sell it forever with the same skeleton without a plan as a pillar of your economic strategy. That's why Hasbro is down. The toy stock they have ain't selling like before because they are old. [/QUOTE]
