[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4168430, member: 19675"] One last point on "easier, faster" etc. Which system of measurement do you use- "Metric" or "English?" The answer probably depends upon where you live, not upon which is easier. The metric system is better in every way that matters. Its logical and simple, easy to learn & intuitive once you get the basics...and yet millions of people (myself included) still use the old English system as their primary if not exclusive system of measurement. I think you're confusing "doomsaying" with examining a very real possibility. I agree with Monte that it is most likely that 4Ed will be the big dog in the RPG market. However, their mishandling of the GSL may make its introduction and success harder than it had to be, and may result in its losing overall market share to other RPGs. IOW, it may not be as profitable as Hasbro wants it to be. If it isn't, thats a problem- if 4Ed doesn't meet Hasbro's required ROI, it could get axed [i]despite[/i] being profitable. That kind of thing happens to profit making products & services every year in business. [/QUOTE]
