[QUOTE="LeifVignirsson, post: 2462466, member: 10833"] I was always of the opinion that WotC/Hasbro is seeing the cash cow starting to fall to its knees. As much as it works all right for us, the player, it might not be the same for the bottom line for Hasbro. Heck, with the onslaught of people that bought 3.5 when it came out, perhaps they are using this as a measuring stick to gauge reaction. Do i think they will scrap OGL? Nope, it is rock solid and well done. Do I think they will relase a "seperate edition" that is all Non-OGL and involves some sort of special markers (figures, special loaded dice, whatever)? Yeah, I do. Much like what Sony did with PS1 and PS2, Microsoft will do with XBox to the XBox 360... Heck, even when Nintendo did the NES to SNES to the N64, they supplied the two platforms for a while, slowly shutting off the resources to the old to concentrate on the new. Should it be like the video game industry? No way! That is what makes this hobby refreshing, something that I love. Can it be? That is up to the figureheads in Hasbro. I can see them doing this, pressing workers and consumers to do this because "If it works for Sony, it can work for Hasbro"... I am retiring whenever 4E comes out anyway, I am too old to be keeping up with the young bucks and getting everything out there. :D [/QUOTE]
