[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6212704, member: 9213"] Wizards moved on to the next edition just fine. Some of us, hell, I think a fair number of us just didn't like what Wizards wanted us to move to. Paizo didnt TAKE away WOTC's customer base. WOTC didn't want that customer base anymore so we left. WOTC was after a simpler streamlined game and newer players. They and their more strident fans made that very clear on their message boards and here at ENWORLD. Before 4E i'd been on the TSR then WOTC teat. Still as a faithful supporter of the brand for over 20 years at the point of 4E's release in 2008 it was my prerogative NOT to support them anymore if they had a product that I didnt like. I'm fairly certain had Paizo NOT come along and produced Pathfinder I probably wouldn't be gaming any more. Instead I think I'm spending more money on RPG stuff than I've spent since the early days of 3E. Monthly AP sub, the RPG sub, the occasional cards, Player's Companion and Module purchase. On top of the Card game and mini's and pawns. That's money that's not going to WOTC true but it wouldnt have been going to ANYWAY. I'm still in the hobby because of the OGL. Because of the OGL I'm still playing/running a game that I enjoy playing/running. Maybe you dont like that fact but I'm fine with it. So from where I'm sitting the OGL is successful. Just not for who you want it to be successful for. [/QUOTE]
