There is obviously no definite answer, but I can tell you the people that stuck with 3e that I know (and I'm close to my 30s *shudder*), have found it to be the best of all the systems. In the beginning, it is tedious and slow, but once you get the hang of it, they will appreciate it even moreso.I read earlier in the thread something Monte said about not being able to discern the state or size of the industry and I couldn't agree more. As always, Monte delivers an excellent point. Someone also mentioned that the negative comments come from those companies and individuals who have had bad experiences themselves. This also seems to be the case at least from what I've seen at the various cons.I think the bottom line here is that there are a lot of success stories in the industry like Malhavoc Press, Privateer Press, Green Ronin, Mongoose Publishing, Bastion Press, Eden Studios, Guardians of Order, and a few others. Some things slowed down or came to a halt for RPGs with Mystic Eye, Fantasy Flight, etc. I think the RPG industry will always be here, and the companies that can continue to produce great products will always weather these market shifts.</blockquote>
