They chose to go into a business that finds itself somewhat reliant on another company's (WotC's) property. They knew, back when the OGL came out, that the next edition could be closed or under a different license, and this issue could occur. It's a peril of running a business that way.It's too early to judge whether this "split" is any more substantial than any previous split that occurs when editions change. If you want to get technical, Gygax starting splitting the base with AD&D, since there are people to this day that use OD&D and won't ever change... and Dancey himself was involved in splitting the base by pushing 3e over 2e. It's an unavoidable consequence to releasing new material and happens in pretty much every industry.Not true. There would still be people staying behind, just like people stay behind with every edition. Hackmaster, yo.</blockquote>
