Does WotC even allow 20+ year OOP products to be sold via pdf?  Has WotC done anything in the last few years to support or promote any D&D but 4E?  Certainly not that I've seen, and if you could show me otherwise, I'd love to see it.WotC is running a business, and promoting their latest edition is the right thing to do.  But providing any kind of support for players of earlier editions has never been part of their marketing plans, and to say otherwise would seem to fly in the face of their own actions.Now if what we are seeing from this Gen Con announcement, is the start of a new plan to bring players of older editions "back into the D&D fold" I am all for it.  I think if managed right this could help defuse the current schism between 4E and 3E players, and it might end up increasing the number of 4E players. ICE operates that way, providing support for all editions of Rolemaster and it works fine.</blockquote>
