It failed because it is not out yet? So 4E is also a fiasco I think.Hussar said:The fiasco is the fact that it ISN'T out yet.

It really doesn't sound like a fiasco. It sounds like the GSL is not ready yet.AZRogue said:I call it a fiasco because they gave us a date when it would be ready, then missed it. They then told us "soon" for some time, even going so far as to say that they had copy sitting back at the office during posts at the DnDXP. Then more silence. Then we hear that they're now vetting their policy on open gaming, which doesn't sound like a final GSL is nearly finished at all. Then more silence. Now we're only weeks away from release and the license they said would be ready months ago is nothing more than a "no comment" to a question they don't want asked.

Anyone besides Paizo and Green Ronin guys?Dannyalcatraz said:With the GSL not being in their hands a couple of months ago, those designers are looking at possibly not having 4Ed products available in 2008 at all.
Do you really think M&M, True20 or Pathfindering can really compete with D&D, or even have any influence at all on 4E's success? Exalted has more chances than those.If that means those games have continued commercial viability because of the tardiness (and expense) of the GSL, 4Ed could have a rockier than expected short-term, not to mention long-term.
