[QUOTE="pkt77242, post: 6564843, member: 59359"] Well that tells me the problem right there, you didn't actually read the posts in the other thread. No one knows if their plan will be successful but it is definitely a viable business plan to release a few products a year that sell really well, instead of releasing a lot of products that sell ok. In 9 months they have released the 3 core books to very good/great reviews, a starter adventure to great reviews, an AP that had mixed reviews (the first half was little rough but the RoT had better reviews) and are about to release a second AP that is generating lots of positive buzz. It sure looks like a viable business strategy from the outside (without numbers it is impossible to tell for sure). As to what Mearls said, he obviously didn't believe it as he put together an extensive playtest that completely changed the game. Sometimes people say things in public because it is the company line not because it is a personal belief (or maybe he didn't want to offend the 4E players coming over to 5th edition). [/QUOTE]
