[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3689718, member: 20741"] Sure WotC is still relevant to me. I buy their books and their minis. I don't but their 3.x adventures though. I was always a [I]Dungeon Magazine[/I] fan when it came to 3.x material. I will continue to buy their 3.x books that appeal to me and their minis. I am not interested in DI and won't subscribe to that, mainly because the cancellation of [I]Dragon[/I] and especially [I]Dungeon Mag[/I] antagonized the hell out of me. I'll buy [I]Pathfinder[/I] though, as I deem Paizo to be the benefactor of my goodwill and affection for the brand, not WotC. I'm not interested in any 4th edition right now. I have far too many 3.x books (70 or so at last count) that I've barely used. 95% of those are WotC books (or licensed in the case of DragonLance or Dragon) so it's not as if they don't get my money. I think the most important factor in my not caring about 4th ed right now is that .3.5 is still fun and "new" to me and I enjoy it a lot. At some point, that will wear off. But I'm not there yet and don't see that happening for several years. Were 4th ed to be released right now, the most convincing argument to "upgrade" that WotC ever had with me - support in [I]Dungeon[/I] and [I]Dragon[/I] would be switching to 4th ed - is now gone from the equation. I have strong doubts that the decision to cancel the print magazines was ever evaluated in terms of the the long term effect that decision would have on encouraging "upgrading" to 4th ed among their core customers.
