I think though there was a non-zero amount though that bought it with the full intention of quitting 5e only to get a solid idea of the very different play style and immediately returned to some semblance of 5e. By then, the dust had settled. My point was even people who wanted to leave WotC's orbit didn't all escape 5e's, let alone coalesce on some alternative system. WotC's loss was nobody in particular's gain. I don't think ORC did what Paizo wanted either (get the major 3pp to flock to its ecosystem, the 5.1 CC cut the legs off that). All the people who want non 5e-based RPGs to flourish have a major uphill battle: the OGL debacle didn't even shake enough 3pp's from 5e to its nearest competition, it's not going to move them to niche independent systems.</blockquote>
