[QUOTE="robconley, post: 8900239, member: 5636"] I realize my response seems critical but in your reply you cited a 10% figure of folks jumping ship. You are not the only thinking that there will be a low number of D&D hobbyist that will do anything as a result of this situation. My reply is to point out that the situation is novel and why the usual assumption may be wildly off base. Although my numbers themselves remain a wild-ass guess. The situation with 4e isn't analogous and played out over years. In the tweet [USER=463]@S'mon[/USER] referenced the author goes on to say Then it occurred to me to google "brand damage valuation" and apparently it is a thing with a field of study. So while my wild-ass guess, which I mentioned, may be off base. There are people who have the skills to do this on a more rigorous basis. Finally, The part of D&D hobby that focuses on related systems by the end of the first year, the hypothetical scenario I stated has made all those systems dead like anything else that is out of print and unsupported. What has been the past behavior of players toward dead and unsupported systems? Of course, many of those in the D&D hobby are focused on playing D&D related system rather than D&D itself. [/QUOTE]
