I don't believe we can at all speculate on the financial situation of the D&D division of WotC to know what level of money they do or do not need to bring in to keep the line active (and indeed ANY speculation is folly and complete guessing at most)... and I personally believe that players do not need to keep spending money on a game to get them to keep playing it.  If the game is good, complete, and fun with just three books... most tables will continue to play the game even without other products released to "remind" them to keep playing.  So while some players might only be inspired to play a game so long as they can keep spending money on it (and if they can't, then the game goes on the shelf)... I tend to think those players are outliers and that most others will just play the game so long as it's fun to do so regardless of how much "stuff" they have had to buy for it.</blockquote>
