If anything they will split the market three ways, with 4e being left in the cold, since the GSL will not permit a spinoff like the OGL allowed Pathfinder.I am pretty that was kind of what they wanted to do with the 3.X architecture, but instead they created their own competition.4e won't have that kind of shelter, other than sticking with 4e, I don't see fans of that system having a lot of options if 5e does come out soon.Another possibility, and the one that I will hope for, is that 5e will continue the 4e architecture, but open the license back into something resembling the OGL. I think that trying to kill the OGL was their biggest mistake. Other things that I consider mistakes may just be personal taste, but the GSL... I can't think of much good to say about it.I still won't play 5e (see above - Pathfinder is still the shiny), but it does not leave the 4e players huddling in the snow.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
