Lots of fans not caring and continuing on. Most hardcore fans have shelves filled with more books than they'll be able to use in a lifetime of playing. Lots of fans who want a current, in-print version of the game will flock to other publishers and they'll bounce around a while until they find the version of the game that suits them best. Lots of fans will bow out of the hobby entirely. Lots of fans will discover the OSR and related games. One thing that likely won't happen is a single company dominating the space. Too many creators have either used open licenses or created their own open licenses. The genie is out of the bottle as it were and won't be going back in. D&D-likes will probably always dominate, but that dominance will be split between several companies of various sizes.</blockquote>
