Some of those guys now swear blind that they're happy with 3.5 and won't be switching to 4ed. Some kids just never learn. <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=":)" />Also don't forget that the RPG environment is much different now: people's loyalties are divided between several different companies/authors, the shadow of 'corporate' WotC weighs heavily on some of the more extreme fans, and massive roleplaying forums like ENW give everyone on both sides a chance to vent their feelings in ways that weren't really mainstream in 2000.I do genuinely feel that only the same proportion of people who didn't switch to 3ed will not switch to 4ed, it's just that now they're much louder than they used to be. And I don't mean that as a slight, it's just the way it is.</blockquote>
