Because of the OGL, even if there hadn't been Pathfinder, 3E would have likely remained at a significant level of gamers for decades. 4E was just sooo different that it was simply never going to bring in a significant number of those gamers. So in my opinion, imagining what this might have been like is entirely moot, as I don't think it would have ever happened.  And this part is completely inapplicable IMO. If you make a game people like, they'll buy it. Sure, there's only so much money each individual gamer has to spend on games, but I honestly don't think the market is fully exploiting the potential of their customers. Multiple good games can exist at the same time and all hit their profit goals. But a game that just doesn't grab the imagination of enough people simply won't. I don't think that in a case like that, having to "share the market" really matters. If people don't want it, people won't buy it...and having enough money to afford it won't change that.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
