Thing is, now everything depends on market support. A deciding factor will be the existence of a 4E OGL. If there is a new OGL, then soon the majority of publishers will go for the new thing. If, on the other hand, 4E comes out with no OGL, I assume that many publishers will stick with 3.X for quite some time, some even exclussively. Even in the former case, however, the players who will prefer not to make the switch will be more numerous than those who adopted a similar stance when 3E had just hit the shelves.</p></blockquote><p></p>
